[amsat-bb] Yaesu G-800 to replace G-5500 Azimuth rotor

[Sion Chow Q. C. (9W2QC)]

Dear All,

 

I have a Yaesu G-5500 rotator set with the azimuth rotor being faulty.  I
have not got the time to open up and check that yet.  

 

However, it appears that the azimuth rotor of the G-5500 is similar (or the
same?) as that of the Yaesu G-800.  I would be glad if anyone could kindly
advice if the G-800 rotor will replace the G-5500 azimuth rotor well?  And
will the G-5500 control box be able to control it?

 

Thank you very much in advance.
