[TowerTalk] G-800sa Yaesu rotor

[knormoyle at surfnetusa.com]

Well, I have an answer/existence proof, but you might not be comfortable with the execution:

I have 3 rotator computer control cards. The first is your case.
g800sa controlled by ez-rotor-control kit (ERC) from Germany.

g1000dxa controlled by idiom card
g1000dxa controlled by ez-rotor-control kit (ERC) from Germany. 

the kit is really easy for the yaesus with the computer control plug in the back..i.e. the dxa's. Not so easy for the 
g800sa.

The 800sa required me to tap into some internal wires/points in the box. Rather than put the card in the box, I ran 
the tap wires to an external plug and kept the card in a plastic box external. If you're not comfortable with playing 
around inside the 800sa control box, you might not be happy. It was more work than I expected. But it works.

He sells them preassembled also now. (ERC-R)

The ERC works great. I like the configuration process on the ERC more than the idiom.

If you don't want to worry about debugging any bad soldering (they're all thru-hole though) you might order the ERC-R 
assembled.

I use them with N1MM for instance.

 Is there a controller that can be used to computer control a Yaesu g-800sa rotator?
