[TowerTalk] G-2800DXA Resistance readings

[Mark Pride]

I concur with Dale's description.
G2800DXA model (with Cinch connector on control box)  - Also the same for the G1000DXA model.
1,2,3 are for the potentiometer
4,5 are the motor and 6 relates to the stops.
I am happy to scan and supply the schematic.
Also note:  I have found their version control is very poor.  Moving from Cinch connectors to Molex; FT1000D - always send the original manual when having it repaired as these radios had changes that were not well documented (but I digress). Regards, Mark, K1RX

Hmmmm. That's exactly the opposite of the schematic I remember seeing 
online, as well as opposite of their smaller rotator (GXE1000?). Pins 1 
and 2 are the motor, 3, 4, and 5 is the position pot.
