Let me know if you get it OK. It\nhas some troubleshooting info towards the back.\n \n>From your problem description, my bet is that the sweeper arm on the\npotentiometer inside the rotor is no longer making contact. I've had several\nwear out over the years.\nOf course, this is the worse case scenario requiring the rotor to be removed\nand disassembled.\n \nHowever, you might get lucky and find something in the control box power\nsupply has failed or an open/intermittent in the cable between the control\nbox and rotor. \n \nGood Luck,\n \nScott AA5AM\n \n \n\n \n\n\n> From: [email protected]\n> To: [email protected]\n> Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 12:26:13 -0800\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Ham IV rotor problem\n> \n> Greetings and happy new year to my fellow sat-ops. I thought I would try\nhere before searching the entire 'net, for some tips in trouble shooting a\nrotor problem. My up/down link sat antennas are mounted on a common boom,\nfixed el., above my HF yagi. I turn all of it with a very old Ham IV rotor\nand the original CDE controller. Here is the problem. The rotor turns fine,\nbut there is no readout of direction. This first began to occur\nintermittently, then finally the needle just stopped moving while turning\nthe antennas. I have checked the wiring at both ends and all seems in order.\nI am really hoping to avoid having to tear down the rotor, so any\nsuggestions on trouble shooting from \"outside the case\" would be greatly\nappreciated.\n> Thanks much.\n> \n> Craig\n> N6RSX\n> \n> \n> \n> NOTICE: This communication may contain privileged or other confidential\ninformation.
