Generally the G-2800DXA is a reliable rotator. To maintain a good
connection, I always sealed its connector boot with silicone. From the
ground I would start by checking the continuity of the motor windings
and the potentiometer. If that looks good I would check for anything
binding and that the mast is centered on the rotator. You can also
check that the controller is supplying voltage to the motor wires.

I installed a Yaesu 2800 rotor early spring… turning a two element
30 and 40 beam. IT stoped working last week.
I turn it with a Green Heron RT21 .
The rotor box reads the direction 272 deg. BUT there is no motor
movement. I have a junction box at the base of the tower
Today I took my spare ( NEW) RT-21 to the base of the tower and
connected it to the rotor control cable. 9 ONE piece no juntion just
the plug.
No Joy.. all the same reading both in manual and point and shoot dial.
NO MOTOR MOVEMENT
Is there a trouble shoot list for this rotor like the TeleX / Hi Gain ?
