Did the rotator work before you put it back up?  If so, perhaps your cable 
is undersized for that length?

Hey Guys,

So, I put the antenna and rotor back up yesterday.  My rotor refuses to
turn.  I am running about 350 feet from the controller to the rotor.

Anyone know of a way to check from the ground if the rotor is good and
possibly just the control box.  I looked inside the control box and only
four wires go to the pin assembly.  Can I just apply power to two of the
correct wires to see if it works?

Appreciate any help you might have.
