I also have a Yaesu 800 rotator for the my Limited rover, also did not want AC
in the rover if I could help it.
I bought a Green Heron model RT-21dc direct from the vendor. First discussed my
needs with the owner, who was very helpful. Can work with separate power for
the rotator motor, but my Yaesu rotator works fine with with my normal supply
voltage of 14.1v. Has USB and RS232 for remote control.

Hi Gang,
I just tried to purchase an MDS RC1-Y to use with my Yaesu 800DXA rotor.
SURPRISE! The order was cancelled and they refunded my money. Hmmmm.
Assuming this is not just an oddball mistake, I now need to find a DX
powered box to get my rover rebuild back on track. I see that DX
Engineering has a unit by EA4TX, but that is about all.
Are there any other easy options? I guess I could just buy a sine wave
inverter and a regular box, but my rover has no need for AC. Well, a Keurig
would be nice I suppose :-)
