It's not ideal spacing. There is an article on the web somewhere for that. 2m on top, 432 next, 6m then tribander. I've worked western PA on 2 ssb with 160 watts, gulf coast on 6 ssb and local contacts on 432 ssb. There are 2 and 432 nets but I don't get on. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy , an AT&T LTE smartphone

Glad to hear that I got my hands on a real
workhorse!
BTW, how far apart did you mount the 6/2/7cm beams? That is
pretty much exactly what I'm putting up.
Thx & 73,

Subject: Re: [bars] Yaesu rotor
I just checked the specs and pinouts. They are
exactly the same. The G-1000 controller is a G-800 that can
handle a little more torque, calls for an additional 0.5A of
juice, puts out the same voltages to the rotor and the
connectors on the control cable are exactly the same. They both
use pins 1-5, and 6 is not used. The newer versions have model
numbers that end in "DXA" and the only major difference is that
they use DC motors instead of AC.

I picked up a rotor labeled "G-800" as well as a controller labeled "G-1000DXA" from separate sellers at a hamfest awhile back. Do they play well together? I can't seem to find any info on a 'G-800' without a suffix such as 'DXA' or 'S', etc.
Any help will be appreciated! 73
