Hi Folks,
hope in an help to solve my problem with my Rotator Yaesu G-5400B.
Today i was tracking the ISS, ad while i was tracking it I got The AO-51 in
AOS. As I am using the Trackbox, and i did not have under my eyes the
control box, I heard the Trackbox passing from ISS to AO-51. I gave an eye
to the control box and saw it was stuck at 35 degrees and it did not go
down to the 0 degrees to start the AOS. I have pulled out the connector
which connects the control box to the Track box and tried manually
To bring down the antennas. I've tried to press the "DOWN" switch, but they
did not move from that position.
I've tried to press the "UP" switch and noticed that the antennas moves
going up.
Then i have tried also with the "RIGHT" and "LEFT" switches of the Azimuth
and noticed also that the antennas moves in both sides.
At the end i can say that the antenna moves in all the positions except for
down.
Please anybody can tell me what is happened?
As the antennas are now stuck at 45 degrees i am afraid that the wind can
cause problems.
I Hope in an help.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
