I've used the Yaesu G-1000DXA and G-2800DXA on 100ft and 120ft towers for 20
years and have never had their mounting brackets fail. I also now use the
Green Heron controllers. I would suspect that the failure reports you heard
were because the rotators were installed improperly.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Broken Alpha Spid
It appears that my Alpha Spid cut loose in some heave wind recently. I
am looking to upgrade to something else. I am turning a 4 ele SteppIR
with the 30/40 loop and a 2 ele Cushcraft 40.
The Yaesu 2800 and Orion 2800 have been suggested. I heard that you
have to be careful with the Yaesu and the mounting bracket as you can
break it. I have a Green Heron Controller.
It has also been suggested to get the NV or LXC mounting brackets for
the Orion.
Any other thoughts?
