Hi All, I bought a secondhand G5400B and promptly dismantled both rotators to overhaul them and also completely repaint inside and out, and they now look like new :-).
My question is I set the azimuth rotator as per the instructions and all seems good apart from the CCW direction does not indicate 180 (far left), more like 165-170, is this normal? Mechanically it rotates more than 360 but the resistance of the pot is 14 ohms CCW and 8 ohms CW. I would have thought it should read 0 CCW then setting the adjust pot on the controller to 180 with the rotator exactly 360 round CW. Hope I haven't lost anyone with this description :-). Any guidance would be most welcome, thanks. 73 de Tony ZL3HAM _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
