[TowerTalk] Rotor EZ fix

[Lou Dietrich]

All,

A few weeks ago, I had a near miss with lightning. It took out my Yaesu rotor DXA card, along with other electronics in the house. 


The troubleshooting section on the Idiom Press website is fairly easy to follow...and can pinpoint the problem quickly.


After contacting Rob at Idiom, we (he, mostly!) determined that the MAX232 chip went south...and took the voltage regulator chip with it. Rob ordered me the replacement parts and I was back up within a week. Super customer service!

There are substantial differences between rotor control boards, so I don't know if that will be your problem. You may want to do some  straightforward troubleshooting first and then contact Rob.

73/ Good Luck...
