yaesu g-450a rotator

brand new, straight out pf box.
wired cable.. checked continuity..satisfied..
plugged in, pushed rotate moved a few degrees stopped!!!
Won't move at all now..
Had 2 other hams verify my cable ends with vom, and manual.
We tried to find maybe a loose plug connection.
cable checks out 100%
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My suggestion would be to return it and ask for another one.

 

Is there a reset button?

 

I had similar effect when I used a long (>100 ft) and thin cable. Check it with a short cable. If it works you will need to use a cable with thicker wires.

 

none but tks

 

thank you Jacek.. I'll cut off a 6 or 7 ft piece and try it .. Will keep you informed...73 tom

 

hums,, but won't rotate....bought a second one also brand new... does the same thing,. even with a 6 foot cable..
I'd say I've done something wrong... Have had several friends confirm my cable/plug wiring according to the manuals..
Need any and all pertinent suggestions..
