All:

I installed a Polyphaser rotator control line protector on my Yaesu G-2800 rotator and found that the rotor would not work. The rotor controller spun erratically when I changed heading and the rotor itself would not spin.

I disconnected the line protector and the problem went away. The protector is the shunt type 8-wire unit shown here: http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/ppr-is-rct

The Yaesu rotor uses 6 wires which I connected as per the instructions leaving 2 terminals free. The protector was grounded and mounted to a copper plate inside an entrance panel.

The rotator seems to be working fine, but I wonder if I caused any damage?

Any ideas?

Tony
