Introducing the Yaesu G-450ADC Medium-Duty Rotator System, an exceptional solution for amateur radio enthusiasts and professionals seeking reliable and precise antenna positioning. Designed to accommodate small HF beams, tri-banders, and VHF/UHF antennas, this rotator system is engineered to handle tower-mounted wind loads of up to 10 square feet, ensuring optimal performance for your communication needs.

Key Features:

• 450 Degrees of Azimuth Rotation: The G-450ADC offers an impressive 450° rotation range, allowing for seamless antenna orientation beyond a full circle. This extended range ensures you can target signals from any direction without mechanical limitations.

• Efficient Rotation Speed: Achieve rapid positioning with a full 450° rotation completed in just over one minute, minimizing wait times and enhancing operational efficiency.

• Robust Load Capacity: When tower-mounted, the rotator supports a vertical mast load of up to 200 lbs. For mast-top installations, the optional GC-038 Lower Mast Clamp is recommended to ensure stability and safety.

• Versatile Mast Compatibility: Accommodates masts with an outside diameter ranging from 1.25 to 2.48 inches, providing flexibility to suit various antenna setups.

• Advanced Clamshell Design: Utilizing 98 heavy-duty 7/16-inch dual-stacked circumferential ball bearings, the rotator evenly distributes the load across the housing's full diameter. This design minimizes stress and wear, enhancing longevity and performance.

• Weather-Resistant Construction: The rotator unit is housed in melamine resin-coated die-cast aluminum, offering maintenance-free operation under diverse climatic conditions. The design effectively prevents water ingress, ensuring durability and reliability.

• Modern DC Control System: The G-450ADC operates with a 20 V DC control voltage and utilizes a four-wire system. This modern configuration enhances control precision and reduces power consumption.

• User-Friendly Desktop Controller: Featuring a 230 VAC input voltage, the desktop remote control console boasts a compass-style indicator, providing intuitive and accurate antenna positioning from your operating station.

Important Compatibility Note:

As of 2019, the G-450ADC model has transitioned to a DC control voltage system. It is crucial to note that legacy G-450A models operated with a 26 VAC control voltage and a five-wire system. Therefore, old AC controllers are not compatible with the new DC rotator motors, and vice versa. Ensure that all components within your setup are compatible to maintain optimal functionality.

For installations requiring mast-top mounting, the optional GC-038 Lower Mast Clamp is recommended to secure the rotator effectively. Additionally, for masts under 1.5 inches in diameter, the GL-33 Mast Adjustment Plates provide the necessary support and stability.

Elevate your antenna system's performance with the Yaesu G-450ADC Medium-Duty Rotator System, combining precision engineering, robust construction, and user-friendly operation to meet the demands of today's communication enthusiasts.
