Yaesu Rotators
HF, VHF, Satellite Antenna Rotators
Exclusive G-2800DXA planetary gear system
For the largest rotator selection made by the only major radio manufacturer in the world, ask for Yaesu. There is a Yaesu rotator for every aspect of communications. Amateur radio operators find Yaesu rotators indispensable for making difficult contacts possible. For government use, such as emergency fleet dispatch, or military maneuvers, Yaesu rotators aid remote communications of all types. Radio and television stations use reliable Yaesu rotators for off-site broadcast activities. Because Yaesu rotators are reasonably priced, their lower system costs are a bonus.
With seven different models, from rotators-controllers for light-duty TV antennas to large HF arrays, as well as Azimuth-Elevation combinations for satellite applications, there is an impressive combination for virtually every use.
Key Features
- 450° tuning radius on most models
- User selectable North or South center
- Quiet, gear reduction braking system
- Quick-disconnect plug for safety during lightning (1)
- 117/220 VAC (2)
- Fits most USA-made tower shelves
All Yaesu rotators are housed in weatherproof, die-cast aluminum enclosures and are permanently lubricated for years of smooth, quiet operation. Unlike other rotators which use noisy wedge brakes, Yaesu rotators have a quiet, reliable, gear-reduction braking system. Yaesu rotators are also compatible with most USA-made antenna tower accessory shelves.
Each Yaesu rotator is backed by a one-year warranty, and nearly 40 years of proven communication engineering success. Choose Yaesu rotators for excellence in manufacturing and performance without compromise.
