Hi Jarda,

I do not see or hear any noise on RX while my new G5500 rotor is moving. I'm using ICOM IC-9700 which has waterfall display so you can see any noise but I have not noticed anything. I'm working both Linear and FM birds fine and receive is fine while rotor is auto tracking.

I need to buy G5500 rotator. But now Yaesu produces G5500 with DC motors only, instead of AC in previous versions.

My question is for owner of the new G5500 with DC motor. When DC motor in G5500 is working (turning) ,will noise increase in reciever (detectably, noticeably, can be weak)? (or other kind of interferece ?)

Which kind of DC motor is in G500 used ? - with commutator, or brushless ?

I am asking, because I had bad experience with some DC rotator (but it was not from YAESU!).

I have experience with G5500 which has AC motors. There is no problem..
