Is Yaesu's "K-factor" the same as Hy-Gain's "Effective moment"? If not, Alan AB2OS I wrote: In the course of looking around for a good price for a G-1000DXA, I went to the Texas Towers Web site and n
Yes - they are both weight times turning radius. Cheers, Steve K7LXC TOWER TECH _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless
Somebody suggested in a private message (not to the reflector) that they are different: "effective moment" takes into account the distance from the axis of each component of the total load, whereas Y
What makes sense here is to use Yasu's method of K factor with Yaesu rotors and use the Hygain method with Hygain rotors. We don't have enough knowledge of the manufacturer's safety margins to guess
Nope. They're both weight times turning radius. I think I already mentioned that. Regardless, both are approximations of rotator capacity and much better than just square footage. Cheers, Steve K7LXC
knowledge conservative. The bottom line is that they're the SAME and they're just APPROXIMATIONS based on the manufacturer's knowledge of the unit. This is an improvement over the old square footage
