[amsat-bb] Yaesu g5500 rotator issue

[Nick Pugh]

TNX Slon for the quick reply
The resistance from pin 6 to 5 and six to 4 is 8.8 ohms and the voltage are the same is 23.4 vac  which probably rules out high resistance on the up pin + I check the plug

Any other suggestions??

Check the “plug / din” connection in the wires to the box. Mine did similar things until I made sure the wires in those plug connectors were snug..
Now, no more issues...
