I have a new LM354HDSP crankup tower. I got the tower up, back in late November. That is where the project stopped for the winter. All it is holding up is an inv vee for 80 mtrs right now. The antenn
John, YES the OR2800 will fit inside the LM354HD without any problems. I am using an LM 470 tower which uses the same top section as the LM 354 and I have the M2 OR2800 inside. It works great !!!!! I
Are you sure you didn't get a metric number mixed in with the English numbers? Using Yaesu's method of figuring the K factor, I get 3264 ft-lbs for the antennas you have. The G-2800DXA is rated for 6
K = turning radius x (antenna + mast weight) The mast weighs around 110lbs So add 55 lbs to each antenna calculation. Then sum the two They give a pretty lengthy example of this in the manual. Metri
I just pulled the info from the web for that calculation which didn't mention mast weight. I went back to the Yaesu manual, and yes that is what it says, it includes the mast weight in the calculatio
