- You should have no problem with the LM354. I have a G2800 in an LM470, they are essentially the same towers but with different sections. If you have a Yaesu rotor plate, it should be compatible with

- I had a similar problem because and must, with some embarrassment, admit that I was careless and did not shim the rotor as I should have. The T2X is made to accommodate a 2 1/16" OD mast. My mast is

- Many years ago when I had a small tribander at my parent's home, I had a Ham IV and I shimmed the clamp because I used a water pipe mast which was 1.90 OD. I have not used that style rotator since th

- Most crankups have a sufficiently large sleeve in the top that the shim is not really necessary. We are talking 1/32 here. Even the sleeve in the Rohn pointy top sections is specd at 2.08 I.D. (1/32

- That depends entirely on the set-up. Mine was a TB2 thrust bearing in the top of an HDBX-48. Rest assured that this particular setup is quite sensitive to the mast being centered in the rotor. Had I

- Which is exactly the reason you need to torque balance an antenna. If your antenna is torque balanced, there will be -zero- torque on the mast in any wind condition. If you release the brake and the
