The main VFO tuning dial is to the right of the previously described controls, and approximately in the centre of the front panel. The buttons are closer to the fascia at the top and thicken slightly at the bottom. A brief note on the buttons. If you intend to only put up a small yagi, the G800 may well be adequate, but if you are putting up a large yagi with many square feet of wind load, then opt for the G1000, or if the yagi will be huge, better go for the G2800. Connecting the rotator to a computer is possible, but unless I am mistaken, appears to be very expensive. Each revolution of the VFO moves 10khz, but I would imagine this can be changed in the Menu. URH ad-vev mkdsi tartomnynak a bvtsban? 
As there is no automatic slow start and slow stop on this rotator, I assume it would be easy to increase the speed manually if you are moving the rotator over a large distance, but decrease the speed again for the stop. I dont know if the G800 has this feature or not, but just call HRO, and they could tell you. There are differently shaped buttons at the end of the row to select A and B receivers. During a recent conversation with Rob G0WSC, he told me he was installing a new Yaesu G1000 DXC rotator, and he was looking forward to having computer control. I did not actually try assigning the CS button on this borrowed radio, so this is something to make sure of yourself.

I just took the front cover off and I touch the needle to find out where the rotor is pointing, and I have never moved the needle inadvertently. I personally gain great benefit by listening to the DX station transmitting in my left ear, whilst I am looking for a pattern in his RX frequency range, listening with my right ear. For a blind operator this is terrific. Rob then mentioned he could adjust the bearing by turning a knob and pressing a button.
Below and running along the bottom edge, are 8 buttons for transmitting any pre-recorded voice and CW messages.
I owned a couple Yaesu rotators and over the years "gave up" because they're just too difficult to service when Y AESU G-2000RC HEAVY-DUTY ANTENNA ROTATOR & CONTROLLER The Yaesu G-2000RC is designed to support and rotate large-size ama teur and professional antenna arrays under remote control from the station operating position. 4 0 obj There is seldom a need to enter the Menu system, but there are a lot of controls to remember! dv:pandora, sziasztok. Yaesu Rotators are precision-designed for a wide variety of antenna installation applications. This evaluation is therefore slightly different from the stand alone reviews I have conducted previously, as it is indeed possible to use an apparently inaccessible radio with no voice output, if a computer can be operated. Then press A/B and press the microphone Up button three times, this sets the frequency on the Sub receiver. >> /Filter /FlateDecode 
In terms of accessibility, the main challenge for a blind operator using the FT 2000 is the lack of a voice synthesiser. 90 degree overlap enabling simple and fast change of direction). 3 0 obj
We then had a look at the glass plate covering the analogue direction pointer. It covers 160m to 6m. But, I think the most straightforward way of setting the Split frequency at say 3kHz up, is to press A=B, to make the Sub receiver equal the Main. There is a knob that you can adjust the stop point to, so when the button is pressed, the rotor goes to that set point. This meant I could hold down either lever and feel the direction of the antenna as the pointer moved. %

This works for both the internal and an external ATU. All this was very straightforward.
This requires an additional Yaesu interface box with appropriate cables, but the unit appears to be very expensive. Are you looking for a downloadable copy or making one available? I can well imagine the rotator could be supplied with another controller. There is also a small knob on the control box to adjust the speed of the rotator. Direct keypad entry of a frequency was straightforward. 
But, looking at the control box, the rotator appears to be completely accessible as a standalone unit. Within seconds, the glass cover was off, and I found the direction pointer to be very tactile. The version I tested has an internal PSU and the radio is plugged directly into the mains. 600RC or YAESU G-2000 is -3.6V, some models use 5V, etc.

Power Supply Voltage: 117 VAC, 50-60 Hz: Power Supply Current Consumption: 1.0 Amp Yaesu Rotators are precision-designed for a wide variety of antenna installation applications. Firstly, it has a tactile knob allowing you to select the bearing. Limiting the tuning power to 20 watts while keeping the TX power at 100 watts is very useful. The keypad uses the Triple Stacking method for band changes, meaning, pressing the number three will cycle you through three different stored frequencies on 40m. This rotator had Clockwise and Anticlockwise levers, but the needle was hidden under the glass facia. Then press A/B again to return to the Main, and finally the Split button. If you have any question about repairing write your question to the. To the right again is another column of buttons containing the Split, and the TXW button, allowing you to quickly hear the Sub receiver signals. A recording of the Yaesu G800 G1000 and G2800 rotator handbook has been added to the Manuals section. I have had the FT2000 here on the bench for a couple of days only, and so this accessibility review can only really be my impressions on the radio, and I would encourage any blind amateur to do more research and check out my very superficial observations. As the radio is physically large, my initial impression of the front panel was of an overwhelming mass of controls. Prior to owning the PST rotor, I used a Yaesu g1000sdx for around 8 years. Discussion in 'Antennas, Feedlines, Towers & Rotors The manual with schematic can be found here. I employed the method of removing the glass facia plate to great effect.
A press of the TXW button gives a double beep if Split is on, and the Split frequency was immediately shown on the PC. My good friend Rob G0WSC has been using the FT 2000 for about four years, and whilst Rob is sighted, it became obvious that once initially set up, the Menu seldom needed to be accessed again.
ksznm In fact, I found the price to be very slightly more than the rotator itself! The Yaesu G1000 DXC is classed as a heavy duty rotator, capable of turning a full size 3 element HF beam. The physical connection was made using a standard serial cable, connecting to a USB adaptor plugged into the PC. The factory-lubricated rotator unit is housed Hi, Yaesu 857D service manual, right?

I was immediately interested, because if computer controlled, the rotator would be accessible for a blind user. Smooth and quiet in operation, these rotators are housed in weatherproof, die-cast aluminum enclosures and permanently lubricated for years of maintenance-free operation. I dont remember what the G800 costs, but I think I paid about $800 for the G1000, and over $1500 for the G2800. 
>> This actually makes tactile manipulation more awkward. The signal on the sub receiver is heard. But, from my own personal experience, I like to be able to put in a definite frequency, so I dont need to keep checking the voice output. If you want to set the split very rapidly, there is a single button option to set the split to a 5khz high shift. A maximum power limit can be set when tuning.

Having established the FT 2000 was relatively easy to use, I wanted to make sure I could easily use the split facility and the sub receiver. The sub receiver must be on the same band as the main receiver, but it is possible to monitor different signals in each ear, using stereo headphones. 
The direction pointer was reasonably robust, and providing one wasnt too heavy handed, it remained in place. /Font << The radio is turned on by using a button at the top left corner, and the VOX button is conveniently positioned here too. To the right of the knobs are two further columns of buttons. My very first rotator was a Kenpro KR600. 
As you move your hands over the keypad, instead of feeling a block of 12 flat buttons, instead, you have lots of peaks and troughs to negotiate.
One set of mast clamps are part of the delivery (for G-450 and G-650 the bracket is part of the rotator upper section). <<
/Type /Page Sighted operators may well find they never need to use the split function at all, as the Clarifier itself allows an adjustment over 10 kHz! These contain RF Power , Mike Gain, VOX Delay, Manual Notch ,and the RF and AF gain for the Main and Sub receivers. Even for a blind operator, it has certain features that make it worth investigating, even without speech output. In summary, the FT2000 can be satisfactorily used by a blind operator, but for independent operation needs to be connected to a PC via CAT. 
Very interesting. For instance, when you are tuning for 0 beat on a CW signal, the Yaesu will give you a visual indication to show you are on the exact frequency, and fortunately, there is also an audio indication. Much to my surprise, the glass plate is designed to be removed, so a more detailed clock face can be fitted!
