What exactly are you asking? Not "cutting it" and "still not quite enough" are pretty vague terms when trying to describe your concerns. Are you looking for information on braking, torque into a wind, positional accuracy, durability ... what? It would help considerably if you would identify what was deficient about the Yaesu and Alpha Spid rotators.

I am hopefully about to change out rotors on 2 of the towers here. Does anyone have input or 
experience with the M2 2800 rotor or the Pro sistel PT61D antenna positioners? Right now I am 
using a Yaesu G1000DXA which really isn’t cutting it and an Alpha Spid which is better 
but still not quite enough. On one tower I will be turning a long boom 6 meter 8 element beam 
along with 2 16 element long boom beams. The other tower has a Telrex 6 element 20 meter 
monoband beam on a 46 foot boom and a Hygain 5 element 15 meter beam the 155ba I forget the 
boom length. I have 2 thrust bearings on each tower so vertical load isn’t a problem. 
Thank you for your help.
