Subject: [TowerTalk] Hy-Gain rotor tip

>Again, thanks to everyone who sent me tables, schematic, etc. As I was
>taking the wires off of the back of the control I was reminded of a tip I
>think I first picked up here a long time ago. That is when wiring the rotor
>cable to arrange the wires in alphabetical order of the colors. For example
>Black, white for 1&2 then blue, brown, green, orange, red, yellow for 3-8.
>I always make up a chart anyway, but at a glance I can tell if I have made
>any wiring errors.

>Hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me. Now I have to go back
>up the tower and see if I somehow damaged the plug that I got from the
>Rotor Doctor. I seems that I have at least 2 & possibly 3 open circuits. I
>am glad the weather held out today.
