Hi Folks,

Can anyone help me by sending me a jpeg or similiar of the schematic
page out of your Yaesu G-5500 controller box? I was given an antenna
with the rotator attached, yet no controller box. Before I go out and
buy a controller box from Yaesu, I thought I'd try my hand at building
a controller box with provisions for computer control. I do have both
sets of wires coming from each of the Az/El rotators, and I can see
all of the colors clearly.

If you can't send a jpeg, perhaps a pointer or two regarding what each
wire color is connected to...? Is it really just 24 VAC, or do I have
to worry about "split-phase" or things like that?

Additionally, can anyone point me to a project that has been done like
this? I found Bob Bruninga's Archer Rotator mod, which looks nice,
but not knowing the required drive levels, I hesitate to just hook 24
VAC up the the wires on the controller. I found plenty of articles
regarding the computer interface, but I just need to get things
turning at this point.

I'd appreciate a direct email, if possible. Thanks,
