I don't think that is the case with the HyGain rotators. And,
the question was phrased in such a way, that it may or may not have been the

offered my experience with HyGain
rotators, because if the capacitor is defective (from age or whatever) the
rotator will buzz and hum and will
not turn. I don't need a comment such as capacitors that cause a bearing to
malfunction. I don't post to the
reflector very often, because of people who so anxious to flame everybody. 73
