[TowerTalk] Cost effective Replacement for Yaesu G-800SA Control Box

[David Mitchell]

I have a Yaesu G-800 rotator on a roof tower and the motor is fine, but I
hate the controller.  I know that the RT-21 by Green Heron is an excellent
product, but @$600 is pricey, and I've never seen a used RT21 go up for
sale.

Can anyone suggest an alternative?  I am comfortable building, and am
knowledgeable in electronics. I am also OK with building an interface and
using computer software to control the motor.

I have a G-450A and am perfectly fine with the controller- the paddle
switches are easy to control with my left hand while I am sending CW or
tuning with my right.

Thanks,

73,
