Hans,

The controller reads the direction from the rotor via the built in
potentiometer.  If the rotor does not turn the indicator will stop in that
direction.

Can anybody tell me how the indicator for Yaesu G-450 is working. Does it
really indicating the position of the rotator (rotor by my spelling
verifier) or does it have a life on its own like many cheaper rotors?


E.G. i f the rotor can't drive the antenna around (strong wind, antenna
caught in something etc) will the indicator show that?
