[amsat-bb] Yaesu rotator connections

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

The G1000 is a DC rotor, and the 5500 is AC. I think you need another plan.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Yaesu rotator connections

I have a Yaesu G-1000-DXA rotator and controller for azimuth.
After I got into working satellites I purchased a used Yaesu G-5500
elevation rotator and the dual Az/El controller.  (Thanks AA5PK it has been
working great!)

I would like to hook the G-1000-DXA cable to the G-5500 controller but can't
figure out how the pins correspond.  Both are 6 wire cables.  I found a
better schematic for the G-5500 on the Yaesu site than was in my manual - it
appears pins 4-5-6 have to do with power for the G-5500.

On the G-1000-DXA pins 4-5 are power, so in a wild guess I tried hooking
1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, but nothing happens.

Does anyone know how I need to hook this up?

Thanks
