Hello IRC Members,

 

Is anyone familiar with repairing a Yaesu G-800SDX rotor orknow who might?

 

When I rotate the antenna, the direction pointer on thecontrol box advances much faster than the antenna.  When I let up on therotation button, the pointer returns to a position close to accurate, but theantenna itself also backs up some.

 

Yaesu support suggested either the potentiometer line or thecontrol cable or the potentiometer itself.  I have continuity on all thecable lines.  I ordered a new potentiometer, but upon comparing the ohmreadings on the new one to the old one, they are the same.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Don West - W9DEW
