[amsat-bb] Yaesu g5500 rotator issue

[Kevin]

Nick,
    The setscrew holding the gear onto the motor may be loose and 
slipping, reversing jams it for bit so it works and then it starts 
slipping again.
I would swap AZ and EL at the control box and make sure it is mechanical 
at the rotor first just to be sure.
