Pull the needle off the dial and turn it to show where the antenna is really
pointed.

> Hello,
> 
> I've got a Yaesu G1000DXA rotor that's been up on my 55 tower turning a
> F12 C31XR for about 3 years.  I had a lightning strike about 2 years ago
> that destroyed my control box but didn't seem to affect the rotor.  But
> recently I have developed an annoying problem.
> 
> The direction indicator on the control box will not sync up with the
> rotor.  The rotor still points south at the far CCW stop and points west
> at the far CW stop.  But for some reason the control box seems ot be 20 to
> 30 degrees out of sync and it can not be adjusted to account for this
> difference.
> 
> Has anyone ran into this before or can someone offer advice on how to
> resolve it?
