I just installed this rotor last week and it was working 
satisfactorily.  Unfortunately, we had a heavy duty lightning storm 
earlier this week and now, while the rotor is turning normally through 
450 degrees, the dial indication only goes through 160 degrees (155-315 
degrees).  I tried to recalibrate it but I'm at the extreme position of 
the full scale adjust control and still only have 160 degrees of span.

I am already anticipating someone telling me that the variable pot 
inside the rotor housing is the problem.  Have you ever seen a grown man 
cry? :'(

73, Joe
