[TowerTalk] Yaesu G2800 SDX limited rotation

[K0DAN]

If you have the controller properly calibrated, and the default direction
for the antennas is North (0 deg), then the rotor will go clockwise from 0,
past South (180), and continue to West (270). going counter clockwise from 0
degrees, it will go from North (0), pass West (270), and stops at South
(180).

Subject: [TowerTalk] Yaesu G2800 SDX limited rotation

My G2800 SDX rotator only rotates 350 degrees, the manual says 450 with
the overlap feature.

When the overlap light comes on the mast rotates another 90 degrees CW
(right), so that seems about right.  In the other direction (CCW, left)
it stops short for 350 deg total rotation.

I've been to the tower top, loosened the mast and it is free to rotate
and the coax isn't the problem.

Any thoughts as to what else I should check or look for if I remove it?
Could it be a controller problem?
