Seems I can't get a break from Murphy. A couple of weeks ago, I received my azimuth rotor & G5400B control box back from Yaesu after the rotor had failed.
Yesterday I noticed the control box had turned off, and was generating a lot of heat. Sure enough, I checked the fuse, and it was blow. Opening up the case and looking for obvious problems, such as cold solder joints, burned components, etc., didn't show anything interesting; other than a hot transformer. Unit blows fuses as soon as they are replaced. So before I call up Yaesu and am off the air for another 2 or 3 weeks, any ideas from someone who perhaps has had the same problem? I had it connected to my LVB tracker, which no longer functions, as I believe it gets its power from the control box. 73 de W4AS Sebastian _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
