GS-232A Computer Control Interface

for Yaesu Antenna Rotators

The GS-232A provide digital control of most models of

Yaesu antenna rotators ÷ from the serial port of an external

personal computer.

matically step the antenna through up to 3800 angles at

programmable intervals, such as for tracking band open-

ings or satellites (with an elevation rotator).

The GS-232A contains its own microprocessor with ROM

and RAM (memory), and a l0-bit analog-to-digital (A-D)

converter. The 3-wire async serial line can be configured for

serial data rates from 150 to 9600 baud. The GS-232A has a

DB-9 “male” connector for connection to the (RS-232C)

COM port of your computer. Purchase or construnct a

“straight” type serial cable, ensuring it has the correct gen-

der and number of pins for connection to your system.

Please read this manual carefully to install the GS-232A . If

also installing a G-400 , G-500A or G-550 with the GX-500

Automatic Control Adapter, follow the procedures in the

GX-500 manual before installing the GS-232A .

one GX-500 Automatic Control Adapter each.

Firmware on the GS-232A supports either direct keyboard

control, or commands from programs written specifically to

support it (software is not supplied by Yaesu). In addition

to reading and setting antenna angle and rotation speed,

the firmware includes clocked positioning routines to auto-
