The M2 2800 has turned a 65 ft boom full size 20 monobander for me
FLAWLESSLY !!!

I'm with Jerry on recommending the M2 OR2800.
The Green Hornet RT-21 you have will work beautifully with it, (better 
than the M2 controller)
Look at it on the DX Engineering web site.  ( I am not affiliated with 
DX Engineering :-)
