Just finished work on my tower, and in the course of repairs, had to remove
the rotator - Yaesu G-800SA. Before removing it, I turned my antenna North,
and then unplug the control box. After everything was completed, I
reinstalled the rotator, pointing my antenna North. It turns fine, but the
indicator does not work - it is stuck North. I disassembled the plastic
cover and took off the pointer, but could'nt find any problem. Has anyone
had a similar problem? Is there a service manual available for this
rotator?
This is the normal behavior on the A series controllers when one of the
indicator pot leads is open. The usual ohmmeter check should tell you
which one.
