[PPRAANet] Need some help

[DickT-W0RAA]

Does anybody have a Ham IV or Ham V rotor with either a DCU-1 
control box or an analog Hy-Gain control box?  

If you have a Ham V it comes with the DCU-1 Control box.  
A Ham IV is the same rotor, but with an analog control box.  

I have the DCU-1 unit and it's acting flakey.  I spoke with 
Norm at Norms Rotor Repair Service and he said that what 
I need to do is find somebody that has a working DCU-1 or 
a working Analog control box with an 8 pin connector 
socket on the rear.  Four pins are horizontal and 4 pins 
are vertical.  

Norm said that the Ham IV and the Ham V are identical rotors, 
but it's called a Ham V if it comes with the DCU-1 unit or a 
Ham IV if it has an analog/manual control box.  

Can somebody be of assistance?  I would need to either 
bring my DCU-1 over to your place to see if it works with 
your Ham V or if you have one that I could borrow long 
enough to just see if I can determine if I have a flakey rotor 
box or a flakey rotor.  

the 8 pins on the rotor cable connector look like this:

I hope that comes out OK.  I'm a lousy artist.  :)  

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
