Description

Yaesu G-800S Rotor Controller for the G-800S & G-800SA Rotator in Excellent Condition.

 This rotor controller was taken down from a silent key's station and was separated from the tower and items on it. It was working when taken out of service.

The Yaesu G-800S is the desktop controller for the Yaesu G-800 series medium-duty antenna rotators (such as the G-800S, G-800SA, or compatible G-800 models). It provides manual control of the rotator's azimuth direction for pointing directional antennas like Yagis or beams in ham radio setups. The controller features an analog meter or compass-style heading display (360° or 450° rotation range depending on the paired rotator), direction buttons (clockwise/counterclockwise), and a brake or stop function. It connects to the outdoor rotator unit via a multi-conductor control cable (typically 6–8 wires) and is powered by AC (117V or 220–240V depending on version).Key Features & Specs (controller portion):
  • Compatible with Yaesu G-800 series rotators (medium-duty, suitable for HF tribanders or similar arrays with wind loading up to ~2 m²).
  • Simple push-button or lever control for rotation.
  • Heading indication via meter or scale (some variants include preset or overlap features in related models like SDX).
  • Power consumption: low (around 1A max during operation).
  • Rear connections: control cable socket (older style round or 6/8-pin depending on exact version), AC power input.
  • Rugged desktop design, compact size (approx. 200 × 130 × 193 mm, weight ~2.8 kg).
  • Often paired with optional computer interfaces (e.g., GS-232) or upgraded with modern digital controllers like MDS RC1-Y, Hy-Gain YRC-1/3, or Green Heron RT-21 for USB/computer control.
Note: This is the controller only (no outdoor rotator motor, mast clamp, or cable included). The G-800S controller works with compatible Yaesu rotators but may need cable rewiring or adapters for newer models. Many hams upgrade the original controller with digital replacements for better precision and software integration.
