I have a chapter devoted to rotators in my UP THE TOWER book where I have a
chart of rotator specs, with the PP having the highest rotating and brake
torque. Just looking at those 2 specs, two of the TIC Ringrotors are next
followding by a Big RAK Alfaspid followed by a Prosistel 71D. Anyway, there are
28 rotators listed and they all have their good points and some negatives.
Among my personal favorites are the M2 Orion (with a Green Heron control
box and Champion Radio Products mast clamp - NOT the factory stuff) and the
Yaesu 2800.
The whole book is available from championradio.com.
