[TowerTalk] Yaesu 2800 rotor

[john at kk9a.com]

Generally the G-2800DXA is a reliable rotator. To maintain a good  
connection, I always sealed its connector boot with silicone. From the  
ground I would start by checking the continuity of the motor windings  
and the potentiometer. If that looks good I would check for anything  
binding and that the mast is centered on the rotator. You can also  
check that the controller is supplying voltage to the motor wires.

   I installed a Yaesu 2800 rotor early spring… turning a two element  
30 and 40 beam.  IT stoped working last week.
I turn it with a Green Heron RT21 .
The rotor box reads the direction 272 deg. BUT there is no motor  
movement.   I have a junction box at the base of the tower

Today I took my spare ( NEW) RT-21 to the base of the tower and  
connected it to the  rotor control cable. 9 ONE piece no juntion just   
the plug.

No Joy.. all the same reading both in manual and point and shoot dial.  
    NO MOTOR MOVEMENT

Is there a trouble shoot list for this rotor  like the TeleX / Hi Gain  ?
