Hello to all,
Since 3 years I'm a successful owner of this rotator (M2/ORION-2800) and
now I
need advice of the antenna gurus.
Today my antenna system installed (mast + 1 yagi KLM 20M-5) weights 144
pounds.
I have installed two thrust bearing, but only support lateral forces, not
vertical force (weight).
I'm planning a new antenna system that weights (mast + 2 yagis) 660 pounds,
with also two thrust bearing that support lateral forces, not vertical force
(weight).
My OR-2800 rotator can support this weight with no problems?.
It is advisable install a one of the two trust-bearing to support the system
weight to help the rotator?.
Thank you in advance for your answer, and seasons greetings from Barcelona.
