[TowerTalk] Yaesu G800SA Problem

[Bob Pack, NX5M]

That is not the problem.  It was certainly the first thing I looked at. I 
think I need to try to find the schematic of the wiring of this thing.  
Obviously 2 of the 4 wires are + and -, the other 2, well, perhaps one of 
them has come loose in the connector at the rotor.....or, for the second 
time lightning has taken it out.

Hi Bob, and group,

Three times in, say the last 10 years, I was asked to look at a rotor 
problem that had an unusual and unexpected cause...2, using the Yaesu 
Rotors.  Yours might not be this, but be sure to check that the coax loop 
between the tower support, wherever you have it secured, and the rotating 
antenna has not sneaked about and found the protruding end of the U-Bolt 
clamps that hold the mast to the rotor.   Twice I have found the loop to be 
hard snagged to the U-Bolt end.
Best,
