Jon,
Really appreciate your comments on TT about the RR55. I have a
question about the capability of the RR55. On the ProSistel page it
lists the max weight at 45 kg and max wind area at 1.5 m2. I have a
C31XR JK version antenna on a Rohn 55G at 50'. It's rated at 110# / 50
kg and 18.6 f2 / 1.73 m2. These numbers are just a bit outside of their
ratings. In your opinion, do you think their ratings might be a bit
conservative and I would be OK with this combination?
The reason I'm asking is that I have been dealing with a TIC ring
that can't seem to handle this antenna in the wind. I have been in
contact with Carl at TIC for nearly a year now asking for a solution.
The motor he uses is too wimpy and the motor and direction indicator
gears keep losing contact with the ring making it go out of calibration
or give a "no motion" indication on the controller. He says he has a
solution for both issues but nothing has been sent my way. It's always
excuses that he needs a bit more time. The RR55 looks like a good
option. How responsive is ProSistel to issues and delivery?
TNX es 73,
