Bob,

That won't be a problem for the elevation rotor. The maximum movement of the el rotor is 180 degrees, but normally only 90 degrees.

It would be a problem if it was for the azimuth rotor.

Hello-I recently ordered a position potentiometer for my elevation rotor. Yaesu sent me a pot that does not have that wire coming out the back. That pot enabled it to rotate more than 360* if necessary. The one they sent will rotate just a bit over 270* with fixed internal stops. That could be a issue (maybe). The part number they sent is S8101823. If it hits the stops and tries to keep turning something would give. Thoughts please.
