[TowerTalk] Clicking Noise G 800SDX Rotator

[Robert Turner, Jr]

When on pre-set, my G-800SDX also make the clicking sound.  It has had the 
problem since 1993 when I got it.  My guess is its trying to maintain heading, 
but it thinks its drifting.  I also push the directional bar to stop it.

I've also noticed a tendency to move back on forth on pre-set, when I put out 
a 100w+ vhf signal.  Key up - it moves, unkey - it moves back.  I don't know 
if the rotor actually moves.  I never got around to having a second person 
check it.

I have been using the g-1000sdx model for almost 4 years.  The clicking
sound I get is when using the pre-set, it goes to the direction then
kind of ratchets. All I do is push the directional bar control and it
stops.  I never had the thing in the shop and never contacted anyone
about it. Might be what you are experiencing.
