I know this subject comes up regularly, but maybe my exact symptoms will ring a bell for a good startpoint in troubleshooting my G-800SA problem. It has about 200 feet of cable between the controller

Getting closer, I think. After following suggested troubleshooting, found that the pot in rotor unit goes from zero (full left), rotating right, to 400ohms at approximately 225 degrees, then drops im

Terry, One of my Yaesu rotors (G-800) has THE EXACT problem and basically the EXACT readings as you have. I suspect it is the control unit in the shack, maybe damaged from a lightning surge. At this

Richards, Saw that you got links to good coax comparison/loss charts from others. So that is covered. (Keep them all, I use different ones in various situations.) Over the years, there is an old list

Terry, It is the same EXACT symptoms I had here on my G-800SA. I suspected a lightning surge. After wasting much time testing, cleaning plugs, new cap, test rotor pot, taking apart rotor, it came dow

I had this problem with a G-450XL several years ago while still in SNJ. It would rarely hang up, then progressed to where it occurred most of the time. Usually it would free up by rocking left and ri

Terry, freely and smoothly and just the reading is bad. Check that the internal pot in the rotor unit goes from "about" zero ohms to "about" 450 ohms moving the rotor full left to full right. The plu

Ken, AA4NU's input is the better one, and really the most cost-effective for a quality unit(s). On that Top Ten site, if you go to Application Note 4, you will see the "simple" crossover arrangement

I mistyped, and I do mean by accident. I meant to say that AA4NU's input is a good one. The Array Solutions box is also a good one (and simpler). Steve, W5KI ____________________________________ From

Jim, Agree. And thanks for your later comments about failure of one of the ABSS. Something I didn't consider for Ken, since I use a single transfer switch here (the 300-11002-2 you mentioned [below],

Have two general questions/assumptions on use of polyphaser devices at frequencies OTHER than the design bands. (2) I would also assume that a device designed for HF frequencies WOULD NOT be useable

Thanks to inputs from Gary and Stan (and any future). Both replies made immediate sense to this older brain. Seeing the size of series capacitance in remote antenna switches to handle a KW on HF, I c

Dan, I concur with the other posters here, full-size elements, with some bends would be preferrable, in my opinion too. The variation of extending the two dipoles out as close to 90 deg perpendicular

Hi Jorge, I have used the RC1-Y (for the Yaesu rotors) for a few years now. I, personally, have been very pleased. Not only was the price good, it added PC control via serial port for my G800, which

Martin, I had a similar situation many years ago with the smaller 450. First, though, ensure that the antenna is not hanging on a tree limb, or the coax loop is binding it. I am sure you will get oth
