The Yaesu manual calls for six wires #20AWG each.
All the rotor control cable I can find at the usual radio stores is:
Standard duty: 2x #18 & 6x #22 @ $.049
Or
Heavy duty: 2 x #16 & 6 x #18 @ $0.89/ft.
My control line run will only be under 35 feet. Maybe I'm being overly cheap, but between the rotator and the M2 LEO pack, costs are starting to add up.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
73, Frank
