[TowerTalk] Yaesu rotator connectors

[Alan Swinger]

I had similar concerns w/ my G-2800 & UST TX-472. However, it worked all OK once the correct orientation of the rotator motor was chosen. Tell your buddy to rotate the motor to find the correct alignment . . . unless the tower is simply too small. - Alan K9MBQ
