I think another point to bear in mind when choosing a rotator, is how long you
expect the thing to survive without giving any trouble. Replacing a rotator can
be a major task if you have to climb a tower to do it. From my own experience of
Ham II and Ham IV types, and probably the Tailtwister would come into this
bracket, I reckon things can start to go wrong after 5 or 6 years of daily use
in a wet & windy environment. OK - you can get replacement parts fairly
readily, and doing the refurbishment is not a huge job, but sometimes I wish
that life could be a bit sweeter!! What experience do other folk find with other
makes ??...Steve, G3OAG
