Hi all,
All of a sudden the elevation meter stopped working of my Yaesu G-5500 rotor controller unit .
No issue with the AZ meter. Rotor itself keeps on steering / working without any problem in EL &AZ (via interface EA4TX ARS-USB) so all still working fine (fortunately !) for satellite work.
Looks like a component failure in the controller unit or the meter itself ?
A physical check (opening the controller unit) didn't show any anomaly. Being a not too tech ham was wondering if any of you Yaesu rotor users had seen this problem before / around ?
Possibly anyone to hint/ indicate at a quick check in the schematic wire diagram to where to start looking for this failure ?
Thanks beforehand for yr appreciated advice
