This is a common problem with the HyGain/CDE rotors that have the wedge
brake.
If this happens, try this: If the rotor is stuck at the end of the CCW
rotation, jumper terminals 4 & 6 together, then rock the motor back and
forth. If the rotor is stuck at the end of the CW rotation, jumper
terminals 5 & 8 together and rock the motor back and forth.
What this does is short out the appropriate limit-switch allowing you to
rock the motor and free up rotor. I have been using this method
successfully here for several years. This fix was first posted by
Julio, W4HY many years ago.
