Important Mounting Note
Please note: If you wish to mount this rotator directly onto a pole, you will need the Yaesu GC-038 mast clamp, which is sold separately.
Normal Rotator Noise
All Yaesu rotators use an advanced locking and braking mechanism. If you shake the body of the rotator, you may hear a slight rattle from inside the unit.
This is perfectly normal. The design helps prevent damage to the rotator gears caused by antenna inertia when the antenna comes to a stop.
Recommended Accessories
- Yaesu GC-038 mast clamp – required if mounting the rotator directly onto a pole
- Yaesu pre-made rotator cable - available in 25m or 40m with plugs already fitted

Important Note
Please ensure that the antenna size, weight, wind load, mast diameter, and installation method are suitable for this rotator before purchase.
For pole-mounted installations, the GC-038 mast clamp is required and sold separately.
