Bob,
I have been following the responses and I thought the same thing as the others
that a wire connection swap would solve it. Since you tried another control
box and also a wire connection swap to the box, and your spare rotator works
properly, I guess the only thing left is the rotator itself. I don’t
understand what could be happening in the rotator that could be causing the
reverse rotation thing though. There are a couple of rotator repair sites on
line Norm’s Rotators is one that does a lot of the Ham 4’s and Tailtwister
repairs and refurbs. I would email him and see what he thinks. Of course the
first thing he is going to say is the wires are reversed, hihi.
73,
Bob
