Well, yes, kinda, maybe in a pinch.... all the boxes use the same 5 pins for 
motor power and indication, so yes, they can all be used if needed to power 
each other... HOWEVER, the 2700 and 2800 use the 6th pin to detect when it is 
getting near the end of travel to invoke an auto slowdown to keep the more 
powerful motor and likely heavier antenna from hitting the hard stop too hard.

Howdy, TowerTalkians -

     Are Yaesu control boxes interchangeable? Since they all have the same 
wiring, I'm thinking that they can all work with other Yaesu rotators. Is this 
right? Tnx.     Cheers,Steve     K7LXC
