To the best of my knowledge the limit switch bypassing works only of the
HDR-300, NOT the T2X.
Some hams are able to release a stuck T2X brake by momentarily reversing
direction. I cured mine by dressing down the wedge slightly with a file and
then suspending the rotator from the mast. The weight of the stacked
monobanders, rotator and the mast is carried by a thrust bearing. It's been
two years since the last time it stuck.
