Charles, I'm obviously jaded, but my suggestion is neither. I'd go with an AlfaSpid worm gear rotator. Same price, more torque, no brakes to break, computer controllable, electronic presets. I have o
My vote goes to the Yaesu. I used to use a Tailtwister with a Mosely Pro-67B and a month after I installed it the position meter in the control box would jump all around due to a bad position pot in
I use an Orion OR-2800 by MSqueard. Has computer controllability built in. Takes 4 wire control cable, 2 of which are heavy gage for the motor and 2 are #24 for the indictor. Turns a 2L 40 and a TH7
Hello Charles I have the G-1000DXA 35' up on rohn 45G.It turns a Force 12 C3S/HH.The HH is for 140 MPH wind load.This antenna weighs 75#.The rotor is on one shelf,then there is another shelf with a t
I've had more tailtwisters than I want to think of, and 1 Yaesu 1000 If you want to save $$$$ over the long run get a PROSISTEL BIG BOY. I could have bought 3 of these for what I've spent on T2's and
Charles, You can not go wrong by over-engineering this component- The M^2 Orion 2800 can literally turn a house without breaking a sweat, and the service and personal attention from the M^2 folks in

The AlfSpid looks as though it is designed to bolt to a mast at the bottom rather than to a mounting plate. How did you go about mounting yours? I am thinking of an AN Wireless tower. Alan AB2OS On 0
Thanks for all the replies. I really got a bundle! Lots of good ideas too. Looks like the AlfaSpid has quite a following, and the Yaesu and Tailtwister are nearly equal. Thanks again.... 73, Charles,
Charles, If you're able to consider a heavier-duty rotator than the T2X, you should look at the RD-1800 from CATS. I went through a couple of Tailtwisters before I decided that I had had enough of th
