A friend here has a T-12 and Cushcraft 40M 2-el on his 100 foot Rohn 45,
both turned by a Yaesu 2800. It has not failed since put up in 1998. But
this rotator is almost twice the price of a T2X. I would think the Yaesu
1000 would be comparable to the T2X. It is used to turn my F12 C-4XL at 152
feet. If cost is not a concern, there are several excellent choices
including the 2800, Alpha-Spid and Prosistel.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Antenna Rotator
Hello,
I am looking for a replacement for my HyGain T2X. The T2X is on a 70 foot
Glenn Martin tower with the Voyager tram system. The position pot has failed
and during windy conditions the antenna (Tennadyne T-12) will not turn. The
Glenn Martin Co. recommended the T2X for my application with their tower and
the T-12 LPA, but the rotator is not up to the job.
I have used
some other models of HyGain rotators in the past with other antennas and on
every one of them the position pot failed sooner or later (mostly sooner). I
thought that maybe the T2X would be "better".
Any recommendations for a well designed, strong and reliable rotator system
would be appreciated.
Thanks and 73 de Joe, W6RLL
