I am getting ready to install my 1st Yaesu rotor on a small 50' tower that will be used for uW work. I have looked over the manual but do not see anything about calibrating the rotor AFTER it has bee
I have no idea what uW is. I typically set the rotator to the desired direction (usually north) and then manually turn the antenna to match it. If you need super accuracy for "uW" perhaps a Green Her
You take the cover off the dial indictor. Pull the indicator needle off. Push it back on pointing at the actual heading. You put the cover back on. Ed N1UR ___________________________________________
Thanks Ed. I can do that. I was just expecting with all the adjustment pots on the back of the controller there was a way to calibrate the unit electrically. Oh, TU also John....uW = Micro-Wave. 73 G
Also forgot to mention I do not climb. I made this universal tower fold over to the ground and while I could raise and lower it 4-5 times to zero it in I would rather make any fine tuning down in the
I determine true north by using the shadow of the tower at solar noon, laying a piece of PVC conduit on the ground to align with the shadow, then rotate the antenna to align with that marker, and adj

Update.....so for me this technique is not working. Zero'ed in on a known station to the NW, noted the dial was off. I pulled off the dial indicator and stuck it on his correct heading. All seemed fi
Hi Gedas, Antennas on my two towers are oriented by observing the tower shadow at solar noon, placing a marker along the shadow, and visually sighting orientation of the boom and the marker. My most
