Hi everyone, Would like to share a technical note.The Yaesu G5500 is a fine rotor, but not weather sealed. The two metal shells are clamped together and will leak.
I have taken apart other failed rotors, always the same problem - water ingress.
I sealed mine up prior installation.
Thanks n 73,JamesKI5DQ On Wednesday, December 27, 2023 at 04:30:55 PM CST, Curt Pikschus via AMSAT-BB amsat-bb@amsat.org wrote:
Depending on if yours is the AC or DC version, HRO has plenty of the AC version Yaesu elevation replacement motors.I have purchased them in the past and they work well.

I have a bad elevation motor on my g5500 rotator. Yaesu is out of stock will one of the other motors from a different model work? Is there any other source for motors other than Yaesu?
