Is anyone using the RAU-1 without any issues? If so how long have you had it up, and how much antenna are you turning? Thanks for any info...

Well it looks like my 5500 had a failure. I found it dead with a blown fuse this morning. I'm now thinking that the transformer was the intermittent problem that has now failed. As I have a 5500 up north also I'm thinking of just buying a new AlfaSpid az el rotor and keeping the Yaesu for parts for the 5500 at my NJ summer home. What AlfaSpid is anyone using? I see there are at least 2 different ones available. All I need to turn is an M2 leo pack, and a Comet CYA-1216E. Any rotor suggestions appreciated....

I???m having an intermittent problem with my G-5500 rotor that is getting worse. Now several times a day when I acquire a satellite the elevation function doesn???t work. But, if I power the control box off and back on several times it starts to work. This is a problem with the Yaesu control box, as the manual elevation control doesn???t work when this happens. Any ideas to troubleshoot before I start to take things apart?
