The Yaesu G-1000DXA Heavy-Duty Rotator System is engineered to provide precise and reliable azimuth positioning for large, tower-mounted amateur and professional antenna arrays. Designed for seamless remote operation from your station's control room, this rotator system ensures optimal antenna orientation to enhance communication capabilities.

Robust Construction and Load Capacity

Built to withstand substantial antenna installations, the G-1000DXA accommodates a maximum in-tower wind load of 23.7 square feet and supports a vertical load of up to 441 pounds. The rotator's clamshell design incorporates 98 heavy-duty 3/8-inch dual-stacked circumferential ball bearings, effectively distributing the load across the full diameter of the housing for enhanced durability and smooth operation.

Extended Rotation Range

Featuring a total rotation range of 450 degrees, the G-1000DXA allows for 90 degrees of overlapping rotation, enabling antennas to rotate beyond a full circle. This extended range provides flexibility in antenna positioning, ensuring comprehensive coverage and the ability to bypass mechanical stops without repositioning.

Advanced Control Interface

The system includes an attractive desktop controller equipped with a compass-style radial display, offering real-time visualization of the antenna's azimuth bearing. Operators can select rotation speeds ranging from 40 to 100 seconds for a full 360-degree revolution, allowing for tailored performance based on specific requirements. The controller also features a preset function, enabling automatic rotation to a desired heading with the press of the START switch. Additionally, users can define a customizable rotation stop position, choosing either North or South, to suit their station's geographic orientation and operational preferences.

Computer Integration and Automation

For enhanced automation and integration into modern station setups, the G-1000DXA controller is equipped with an EXT CONTROL connector. This 6-pin mini-DIN port facilitates connection to optional computer control interfaces, such as the Yaesu GS-232B Computer Control Unit, enabling automated and programmable antenna positioning through compatible software.
