I think the recommendations were primarily based on performance, not price. No
one would recommend a rotor that had poor performance, regardless of its price.

I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my request for "Recommendations on a
Heavy-Duty Rotor that isn't a Prop Pitch". I think we all agree that a Prop
Pitch is the heaviest duty of all.
Here's the Survey Results with the rotor that received the most votes listed
first. However, please note that the next two rotors are tied for second place
with 3 votes each:
---YAESU G-2800-DXA with 4 Votes. Two recommended purchasing heavy-duty mast
clamps, and one recommended purchasing the optional Yaesu GA-3000 Shock
Absorber mount. While this rotor is the most popular, perhaps partially due to
it's bargain price, it has the lowest eHam rating of 3.9 It was very
interesting to discover that HRO sells the rotor unit by itself for just $730.
---PROSISTEL Model 71 with 3 Votes. eHam rating of 4.4
---ALFA SPID BIG RAK with 3 Votes. eHam rating of 4.4 (tied for 2nd place)
---ORION R-2800 with 2 Votes. eHam rating of 4.1
So those are the results of my mini-survey conducted here on TowerTalk
recently. Thanks again for your comments and recommendations, and a special
thanks to Steve K7LXC for this very helpful Reflector!
