I do not rotate the entire tubular tower.  The rotator is at the top.  I wish now that I had purchased the base where the rotator is at the bottom.

Is the rotor mounted on top or are you using the rotating base?  If the holes on the plate are elongated then the Yaesu will fit with out having to drill out the holes. If the rotor is mounted on top of the tower I would go with the gigger rotor.

    Will the Yaesu rotors fit the to plate on a MA-550 tower?  I
    currently
    have a T2X on it and it failing.  Looking for a replacement.  I can
    probably get away with the 1000 version. Maybe it is smarter to
    just get
    the 2800.
