IF someone needs a Yaesu rotator control box, I may have one here that is
surplus. I think the light bulbs are not working in it but many guys have
replaced them with LEDs anyway...I saw one that had some cool blue ones that
made the controller look really sharp. Anyway, before I go looking for it
let me know if there is any interest. -Mike

Subject: [TowerTalk] Yaesu G-8000 DXA controller with G-450 rotor
First off, I think you mean G-800DXA, not G-8000DXA.
The connectors are indeed identical on both units and the interconnect cable
between rotor and controller is also identical, but...
The G-800DXA uses only pins 4 & 5 for the limits and motor, where the
G-450DXA uses pins 4, 5 & 6. Pin 7 is never used on these rotors.
The potentiometer wiring is identical, uses pins 1, 2 & 3.
Unless you can ID the motor differences, if any, I would hesitate to
substitute and create a brick.
As per the previous suggestion, check with Yaesu Tech first.
