Hello IRC Members,
Is anyone familiar with repairing a Yaesu G-800SDX rotor or know who might?
When I rotate the antenna, the direction pointer on the control box advances
much faster than the antenna. When I let up on the rotation button, the
pointer returns to a position close to accurate, but the antenna itself also
backs up some.
Yaesu support suggested either the potentiometer line or the control cable
or the potentiometer itself. I have continuity on all the cable lines. I
ordered a new potentiometer, but upon comparing the ohm readings on the new
one to the old one, they are the same.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Don West - W9DEW
