Hi Jack, Bruce, Jim & all,
Well the problem with the Yaesu G-800S rotor, where the pointer on the control
box moved 20 degrees every time the 2M packet radio transmitted, has been
solved!
I tried most of the suggestions that were tossed out and thanks for all those
ideas. Couldn't really separate the leads coming down the tower, as everything
is on a hazer and the cables come down a follower line. I tried the torids, no
difference. I tried the caps on the control leads to ground, no difference. I
redid all the grounds in the shack and it helped a little.
Then I tried the simplest thing, I removed the ground on the 110 line to the
rotor power line and, bingo no more movement when the 2M transmitted. Go
figure!
