I need some ideas on how to fix the problem with the G-450XL
controller
box.
I bought the controller box and the rotor from Ebay...it clearly
stated
that it had a problem with the controller so I bought it As Is
thinking
I could fix myself...here is the situation:
The left paddle (CCW), moves the needle counterclockwise but 1) not in
accordance with the movement of the rotor. It goes very....very slow
and when I stop pressing it it continues moving at the same pace
(slooow) at this point the rotor has stop rotating. The Right paddle
moves the needle along the pace of the rotor, just fine. Another
problem is that the alert light remains on all the time.
Had time last night only to take the tuner down off the roof and put
it
inside my shack, just inside the window. Extended the long wire
another 60+
feet using insulated 14AWG stranded speaker wire running across the
roof
from the original wire's anchor point on one edge, down to the window,
so
now it's 135'+. RF ground is now a 45` length of the same 14AWG wire
running
anong the deck and ground. Opened up the tuner and verified that I
have
supply sufficient voltage at the tuner (13.7Vdc). Placed sleeved
ferrite
cores on both the radio end and the tuner end of the control cable.
Tried
tuning at 40/20/17/6m - still not working.
It's a killer when I can only work on it 20 minutes at a time.
Hopefully
Saturday or Sunday I can try a bit more focused troubleshooting,
assuming
the coming Nor'easter isn't too bad. I thought I'd try making it drive
a
balanced dipole (if I can pick up some 450 ohm ladder line this week),
75'
each leg. They won't be straight, more like a J with the tuner at the
mid-point.

Tu t'ai fait avoir en achetant sur Ebay, le voila ton problème. Encore un baisé, un Om baisé par un autre Om C'est très souvent me semble t'il.

Cette partie ressemble à une désynchronisation entre le potar de recopie du rotor et celui du boitier de commande. Sur un moteur beaucoup plus "light" le G-400RC j'avais eu ce phénomene quand je l'ai entièrement révisé. J'ai mis quelques infos pour le resynchroniser sur mon site, peut-être que ça aidera à vérifier si cela vient de là ?
