(except for G-5500 az./el. and G-550 elevation rotators).

The high-performance G-1000DXC rotator is ideal for heavy-duty applications.
Its slim-line construction makes it ideal for many crank-up tower installations.
Rotation range is 450 degrees, with presets!
Includes upper (top) mast clamp.

Specifications;

Yaesu rotators include one pair of upper (top) mast clamps
(except for G-5500 az./el. and G-550 elevation rotators).

The G-5500 Azimuth-Elevation combination rotator is ideal for space communication antennas.
The azimuth rotator features a turning range of 450 degrees and the elevation rotator has a rotation range of 180 degrees.

Specifications;

Yaesu rotators include one pair of upper (top) mast clamps
(except for G-5500 az./el. and G-550 elevation rotators).

When Lee visited Kenpro in Japan (prior to Yaesu purchasing Kenpro) about 40 years ago, Kenpro demonstrated the new G-5500 azimuth and elevation combination of rotators to him. After the demonstration, Kenpro immediately adopted Lee's suggestion to fit a
U-shaped plate between the two rotators in order to create a more balanced and stronger mounting arrangement. The G-5500 is supplied with an even stronger U-shaped plate fitted between the two rotators, these days!
 

Computer control unit for all DXA, DXC and G-5500 series rotators.
Subject to availability from Yaesu.

ROTATOR PLUG PACK

A$39 each pack!

Plenty in stock!

If required, a pack of two plugs (i.e. one for the rotator and one for the controller) is available.

The control box plug is a rectangular white plastic 6-pin plug. The rotator plug is a round metal 7-pin plug,
with a black plastic cover.

NOTES

Insurance cover for goods in transit is available from us for only $2 per $100 value of goods. Please advise us if you require this option when ordering.

Please consider insurance because we are not responsible for loss of parcels or damage sustained by parcels - the carrier is responsible! We do pack well!

Please do NOT write <fragile> on anything you send to us as doing so greatly increases the risk of damage. Please try to "double-box" all products sent to us.

We don't offer any replacement warranties. One year warranty applies to all rotators we sell new.
Customer-caused damage is not covered by warranty, of course.

Please don't mount your rotator upside-down. If you do, it will fill up with rainwater. The above photos show the correct orientation. Please visually check and resistance check each plug termination at each of the control cable.

Please note that the metallic "clunking" sound inside Yaesu rotators is simply the rotator's electromagnetic braking assembly sliding inside the motor when/if the rotator is shaken back and forth. This is a normal condition. 

Suits G-450A to G-1000DXA models.

Accepts mast diameters from 38mm  minimum up to 63mm maximum.
 

Suits G-2800DXC model only!!

Accepts mast diameters from 48mm  minimum up to 63mm maximum.

Supplementary shipment
due mid-January!

For flat plate mounting - preferably
at the very top of a tower - with your rotator mounted at least 1m below the GS-050 thrust bearing.

Has a single circle of four bolts.

Accepts mast diameters from 38mm  minimum up to 50mm maximum.

 

Supplementary shipment
due mid-January!

For mast mounting. Includes four steel tabs for guy wire attachment!
 
Has a double circle of bolts for greatly improved mast purchase and stability. A single circle of bolts would allow the GS-065 to wobble.

This current GS-065 accepts mast diameters from 38mm to 65mm!

The previous GS-065 version accepted mast diameters from 38mm up to only 50mm!

Reduces off-axis stress on your rotator and its related components!

SERVICE NOTES

A sales receipt copy must accompany each warranty claim
Include your name, address, email and phone number
 

This rotator MUST be CALIBRATED by the customer for direction indicating accuracy after control cable is fitted, by following the supplied instructions. This is because control cable resistance increases with length, therefore calibration is required.

Computerised light duty antenna rotator package comprises antenna rotator unit, digital display module and an infrared remote hand controller which has a 68-channel programmable direction memory function.

Remote hand controller requires 2 x AAA alkaline batteries (supplied). Three-digit direction indication (e.g. 088 = 88˚) with compass control in 1° degree increments. Rotates at 1 rpm. Includes 1A @ 18VAC power supply!
 
Requires 3-conductor control cable (not supplied). You may use 10A rated 3-core household AC insulated cable as control cable. Control cable can be up to 85m (280 ft.) in length.

This rotator MUST be CALIBRATED for direction indicating accuracy by following the included instructions.

This rotator MUST be set to 50Hz by following the included instructions if you want it to rotate to 340˚ (not just 270˚).
If you leave it set to 60Hz (the factory setting) it rotates to 270˚.
 
Will rotate a lightweight, short-boom yagi up to 3-elements on 27/28MHz. Will rotate a lightweight, short-boom yagi up to 5-elements  on 50MHz.
Will rotate a lightweight yagi of up to 8~10 elements on 144MHz band.
Will rotate a lightweight, small surface area 430MHz or UHF CB yagi.
 
Will NOT rotate large HF beam antennas, e.g. amateur radio two-element
or three-element triband yagis (14/21/28MHz bands), 14MHz/20m band
two-element or three-element yagis, 7MHz/40m band rotary dipoles, etc.

Heavy and/or large surface area amateur HF band/s and/or 50MHz band yagis require at least a medium duty rotator, such as Yaesu's G-450A.

Lightweight antenna rotators, such as this rotator, are NOT recommended to be mounted more than 10m above ground, as wind speeds increase dramatically at greater heights, causing mechanical rotator damage!

Accepts from 1.25" (32mm) to 2" (50mm) diameter rotating mast in top clamps. Accepts approx. 32mm~45mm stationary supporting mast within
its side mounted U-bolts. Operating temperature range; -20°C to +55°C.
Has brake pads & steel gears, too! Rotational torque approx. 115kg/cm.

Most "TV antenna"/"lightweight antenna" rotators, such as this antenna rotator have approximately 1/3 to 1/4 the rotational and stationary braking torque of medium duty rotators, such as Yaesu's medium duty G-450A rotator. Rotates from 0˚ to 340˚ (not 360˚) when set to 50Hz.
