[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-5400B Computer Interface

[ValErwin@aol.com]

Towertalkians:

I went to  a local hamfest over the weekend and picked up a 2-3 year old 
Yazoooo G-5400B az/el rotator - $200!! This model has a computer interface 
port that does not appear to be RS-232. Does anyone in hamradio land know how 
one interfaces to this? So far, I have found that L.L. Grace makes a 
box/software for $300+. There has to be a cheaper way?!?! The Yazoooo manual 
on the rotator says "zip" bout the computer interface port although it does 
appear on the "skizmatic" w/o disignations as to function-- Hmm??

I did check out the rotator on the bench and the az/el functions are 100% but 
of course no way to check out the computer port on the control box --

Any help would be appreciated. If all else fails, I will go to Yazoooo --

TNX in advance --
