[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-800sdx rotor pinout

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I have a G-800SA and a G-1000DXA.  
The controller end connectors are interchangeable, and either controller 
works with either rotator.  Should you want to verify what you have 
physically, the motor pins will be only a few ohms, while the pot pins 
will look like, well, a pot.  I'm fairly sure that the rotator-end 
connections have been the same since the G-1000SDX era, but it is true 
that the controller end connectors changed between the two series (SDX 
and DXA).
