[TowerTalk] Replacing Yaesu Rotators

[Pete Smith]

I'm in the process of lightning recovery, and found out something that may 
be of general interest.

Both my Yaesu rotators are dead, and in looking at options for repair or 
replacement I found out that Yaesu parts department has rotators and 
control boxes priced separately.  The G-800 is a very good deal, at $192 
plus shipping, versus $329 for the non-preset version with control 
box.  However, Yaesu wants $428 for the G-1000 rotator only.  That's only 
$70 less than a typical retail price for the G-1000DXA with the presettable 
control box.  Incomprehensible, but they insist, "That's the price."
