[TowerTalk] Rotor direction display is 90 degrees off

[john at kk9a.com]

Green Heron has an offset setting.  It is easy to accidentally adjust this
when changing menu settings or even by hitting cancel when using the
rotator and holding the cancel button a little too long.

Is it possible that the pot inside my TailTwister rotor has moved? My
antenna direction on my controller now shows 90 degrees off (to the West)
for some reason. I climbed up the tower and confirmed that the mast has not
slipped in the rotator clamp or at the boom to mast clamp. I checked wiring
connections and all seems to be ok. Did the pot move 90 degrees? Anyone ever
see this before? I would appreciate any advice on this before I go through
the trouble of replacing the rotor with a spare. BTW, I am using a Green
Heron Engineering controller.
