[TowerTalk] Ham IV Rotor Problem

[Jim Brown]

I searched the archives for this problem but the remedy given doesn’t
help in my situation. Here’s the problem. When my rotor is pointed to
the west / southwest and stopped there it doesn’t want to restart. The
first thing I did was to make sure the coax was not binding, and then I
loosened the mast clamp and tried the rotator with no load and still had
the problem. I took it down from the tower yesterday and tried it
plugged directly plugged into the control box. Everything worked fine.
As per suggestions on the reflector I installed new rotor cable and
reinstalled the rotor. The problem was back. So what I know is that it
is not binding, coax is not interfering and there is new rotor cable.
Any other suggestions other than sending it to CATS. I am concerned that
it will bench test OK for them. Thanks fin advance for the help.
