Short of it is I don't know. I don't have a 5500. I would suggest you call
Yaesu @ 1-714-827-7600 and ask if part #Q9000404 is listed for that rotor.
They can answer that question for you. While you are at it as I did not
think to ask would you inquire if they have any info on who made the
potentiometer in the AZ and EL rotors for them and do they have a
manufactures part number for it. I believe they are the same part. I am sure
there are lots of folks here that would like that info.
Thanks << John

I'd be surprised if the pots were not the same as they are the same
values and size. Also, I have ordered the Elevation and Azimuth internal
position 500 ohm pots which are the same and cost $12.35 each (mine were
corroded from the weather).

Jim,
Mike DK3WN and I have done some work evaluating CP6 Decoding.
Like you we have difficulty decoding CP6 with hardware TNC's.
Best performance is to use MixW, with audio from the data port.
We have passed this information to the CP6 Team who are investigating the
TNC Header that CP6 sends.
It is also important that you tune the lower tone to 1200 Hertz.
In my case I use Spectran to monitor the audio.
I will forward you a small .wav file separately that has two good
decodeable bursts that you can use to evaluate your system.
Best regards,
Colin VK5HI.

Just me an HT (TH-D7AG) and a rubber duckie antenna -
It is pouring down rain - and well I just didn't setup the arrow antenna or
anything else
But I really wanted to see if this would work and much to my surprise and
happiness I was able to copy the SO50 fairly well. And ajusting for doppler
was much easier if all you want to do is receive :-)
I just upload the audio - for give the 8 or 9 mins of static the satellite
just wasn't up high enough for a little while but I didn't copy it after that
time

How recently did you order them?
I, too, had heard that the AZ/EL position pots were NLA from Yaesu...

I'm throwing this out for what it may be worth...
I now have two 5500's and have had no trouble for years.
Before that I had two 5400's and had trouble with
both on the pots...the connections were rivets,
and I opened up both and soldered the rivets, solved the problems on both...
I replaced them, still working because of the
over 360? rotation on the 5500's..
May be worth a shot to take a look....

I ordered them yesterday and they are on route now.
Item #: 17 500 ohm potentiometer. P/N S8101823 $12.35 each.
This is the rotator positioning pots in the rotators. The same pot is
used in both azimuth and elevation. The pots can do 360 degree rotation
and therefore are different from standard pots. I suspect the 5500 is
the same but I won't swear to it since I only have the 5400.

I did the same on mine when I had the original problem, but decided on
replacing the pots and bought about 10 of them to have spares. That was
some time ago and they still work. My problem now is with the elevation
rotator itself having a problem, but believe I now have that solved as well.

Hello,
I have a brand new, never used U bracket for a G-5400/G5500 rotor. I
purchased this after I purchased a Kenpro rotor that had the bracket
missing, but I ended up never using it.
If anyone out there needs one, send me a private email.
Thanks.

Hello All,
I would
like to inform to all, one more surprise by AO-7. Yesterday ( Orbit: 58267 -
16/06/2009 - 20:15:22 UTC) I heard the station of Andre, ZS2BK, in cw, via AO-
7 in
GI84ow. The distance is 4805 miles
(7694 km).
Congratullations Andre. A little more than the contact ( ssb ) that was made
with Jean-Jacques, ON7EQ. According to Roland, PY4ZBZ, the area of coverage of
AO7 is approximately 7,904 Km.
The contacts are close to the limit of A0-7.
I hope soon keep in cw (or perhaps
ssb ) contact with Andre and are open to any Sked way AO-7 or another
satellite. Thanks all .
The
recording began at 20:14:47 (UTC) and 20:15:22 (UTC) heard the first signal
cw,
in the frequency of 145.940 MHz, the last sign I heard 20:15:52 UTC.

Piraja,
My very best wishes for good luck and good DX in your attempt to contact
Andre, ZS2BK. Please keep us informed of your progress.
Here in EM84, the full summer foliage is proving troublesome for my efforts on
the low angle passes of AO-7 and all the satellites, when they are to my east.
I was fortunate to work Jean-Marie, F2IL, for the second time on AO-7 two
evenings ago - but the copy was much more difficult than when we first worked.
AO-7 actually was slightly higher for this contact, but there was much more
foliage serving as a partial obstruction. I fear my significant DX efforts to
the east on AO-7 will be limited for the next few months, but I definitely
will keep trying!
Good DX and very best 73s,
Tim - N3TL

I looked around on the net for a substitute 500 ohm pot for the rotor. I
finally called Yaesu and got tech support after a long wait. The
potentiometer in the 5400, 5500 and 5600 are the same part. The order
department still has the old number for the 5400 which caused them to say
they did not stock them anymore.
Here is the part number and price for the pot.
#S8101823
Price $12.35
That should settle the question about fixing the control box or the rotor.
