Erik: You take a lightning hit? I don't computer control my G1000SDX, =
but you describe what mine did for a while after a close strike, or =
direct hit--I don't know which. The needle would spin around =
uncontrollably and sometimes point in the right direction, sometimes =
not. When I would look outside, the antenna was aiming correctly where =
I had the preset pointing, but the needle would spin wildly, but would =
eventually stop in the vacinity where I was pointed. Well, this summer =
I took another hit--direct I think. It wiped out about $3,500.00 of on =
non-ham stuff in the house, but only 2 ham power supplies. My rotor is =
now FIXED! No explanation for it other than something up top was loose =
as my controller was disconnected at the time of the storm, and =
lightning fixed it!
