Kenpro KR-1000S
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2016 4:01 pm
I have inherited (for a small price), a Kenpro KR-1000S rotator. The rotator was allegedly faulty, would only move 4 or 5 degrees. Simple fix I thought. Repack the bearings with some grease and a check over everything should be good to go.
Turns out the only problem was a broken mast clamp. This must have been causing the support pole to go out of alignment with the top bearing, therefore jamming everything up. Since removing the support pole and offending clamp, everything works fine.
Now to my question. Are mast clamps for the 1000S interchangeable with the Yaesu G-800 or G1000 or similar?
