[Yaesu] G-800S problem SOLVED!

[Ted Sarah]

Hi Jack, Bruce, Jim & all,

Well the problem with the Yaesu G-800S rotor, where the pointer on the
control
box moved 20 degrees every time the 2M packet radio transmitted, has
been
solved!

I tried most of the suggestions that were tossed out and thanks for all
those
ideas.  Couldn't really separate the leads coming down the tower, as
everything
is on a hazer and the cables come down a follower line.  I tried the
torids, no
difference.  I tried the caps on the control leads to ground, no
difference.  I
redid all the grounds in the shack and it helped a little.

Then I tried the simplest thing, I removed the ground on the 110 line to
the
rotor power line and, bingo no more movement when the 2M transmitted. 
Go
figure!
