Yaesu G-5500 and Labjack Piggyback
by Bob Hammond 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

I'm building a "piggyback" to go with my Labjack U3 and have a question about the output of the G-5500 DIN connector. As I understand the G-5500 manual, connecting certain pins to ground makes the rotator move in certain directions. What I measure is about 15Vdc on all of the "direction" pins relative to pin 8 which is ground. Do I have something wrong with my G-5500 controller box? (not my piggback board). thanks, Bob W7OTJ
