    "content": "Is the antennas physically moving up when you press the up button? IE when\nyou press a button, is the rotor moving opposite, or is the needle\nindicating opposite?\n\nOn Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 11:53 AM, Rolf Krogstad <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Question:  My elevation rotator (Yaesu G-5400) works fine, but to raise the\n> elevation I have to press the down button and to lower it, I press the Up\n> button.  How do I reverse this so it works as intended?\n>\n> Background:\n> I had been the traditional HF ham for years.  I had a tower with a TH7 and\n> a Yaesu G-1000-DXA rotator.  I then got into working satellites.  I\n> purchased a used Yaesu G-5400 rotator and controller.  For the five years\n> since installing the elevation rotator I have been manually controlling my\n> rotators.  I relabeled the up and down buttons on the controller and all\n> was good.  A few years ago I purchased a new LVB Tracker from AMSAT-NA but\n> it sat on the shelf.\n>\n> I am now automating my rotators.  I have the azimuth rotator working fine\n> and have connected the LVB Tracker to control the elevation rotator and\n> done the configuration routine.  I can control the elevation using the LVB\n> buttons, but must press up for down and down for up.\n>\n> I looked at the controller schematic and it appears that pins 1, 2, 3 of\n> the rotator cable connector are connected to the potentiometer:  pins 1 and\n> 3 are on either end of the pot windings and pin 2 is the wiper.\n>\n> I set the antenna to 0 degrees elevation (0 on far left).  I tried\n> reversing the wires for 1 and 3, 1 and 2, 2 and 3.  I don't think any of\n> these will help me here, but am not sure.\n>\n> Any suggestions on how to reverse the buttons so that up is up and down is\n> down?\n>\n> Thanks\n>\n> Rolf   NR0T\n> Grid EN34\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
