Product Description
The antenna rotator Yaesu G-1000 DXC is one of the most popular and appreciated models among radio amateurs for handling medium and large HF antennas, tribander beams and complex VHF/UHF systems. Designed to withstand heavy loads, it handles a wind surface area of up to 2.2 m² and a K factor of 230. The advanced standard controller allows adjustment of rotation speed, automatic direction presetting (Preset) and selection of North or South centring.
Key Features
|
High Torque and Mechanical Strength
Brake holding torque of 6,000 kg/cm and rotating torque of 1,100 to 600 kg/cm to ensure firm positioning even in strong winds. |
Speed Control and Preset
Controller with Preset function for quick pointing and fine adjustment of rotation speed from 40 to 100 seconds per 360°. |
|
Mounting Versatility
Supports masts from 38 to 63 mm in diameter and offers an extended rotation range of 450°. |
Standard Connector Kit
Supplied with the dedicated 6-pin connector kit for simple, quick and secure connection to the control cable. |
Applications and Practical Tips
The Yaesu G-1000 DXC rotator offers the ideal balance between power, precision and cost for mid-range HF installations:
- HF multiband directional antennas: Excellent for 3 or 4 element tribander Yagis, Moxon, Spiderbeam, Hexbeam or medium-sized log-periodic antennas.
- VHF / UHF / Satellite systems (azimuth): Excellent for turning Yagi arrays for the 2 metre and 70 cm bands in DX or contest applications.
HRS tip: We recommend a high-quality shielded 6-conductor control cable. For mast-only installations (without tower), using the Yaesu GS-065 thrust bearing helps relieve lateral loads, extending the life of the gearbox.
The HamRadioShop Team's Opinion
"The G-1000 DXC has always been Yaesu's best-seller for the mid-range HF station. Reliable, quiet in operation and solid against the wind. The speed control and preset on the control console really make a difference in everyday operation and during contests."
