[TowerTalk] Yaesu contol box?

[k1ttt.dave at gmail.com]

Well, yes, kinda, maybe in a pinch.... all the boxes use the same 5 pins for motor power and indication, so yes, they can all be used if needed to power each other... HOWEVER, the 2700 and 2800 use the 6th pin to detect when it is getting near the end of travel to invoke an auto slowdown to keep the more powerful motor and likely heavier antenna from hitting the hard stop too hard.

Howdy, TowerTalkians -

     Are Yaesu control boxes interchangeable? Since they all have the same wiring, I'm thinking that they can all work with other Yaesu rotators. Is this right? Tnx.     Cheers,Steve     K7LXC _______________________________________________
