There are some equations given in the instruction manual that allow you to
determine whether the rotator will handle your beam. I believe your can look
up the manual at the manufacturer's site.
Best wishes,

If you're questioning if a rotator is big enough it probably is not. You
will be money ahead by buying the Yaesu G-2800DXA, it is a very nice
rotator.

I purchased a used Force 12 EF-420/240N and plan to reassemble it this fall
and
be ready for the big contests this winter. I'll be putting it on a 72' US
tower that goes down to about 22'. I didn't get a lot of paperwork with it,
about 4 pages of drawings and dimensions, and am guessing that is
everything.
Once a company goes out of business it gets tough to find anything on an
antenna and was wondering if there were more resources that I just can't
find.
I'd appreciate any help especially anyone experienced with this model. It
weighs 140 lbs and is my first big beam. At this point of the sun cycle I
think I'll really enjoy 40m. I plan to use Nolox or anti-sieze on all
joints.I
got it for about a tenth of it's original price so I couldn't resist. I
only
have a G800 for a rotor and was wondering if a G1000 was good enough or
should
I go up to the G2800? Thanks for all comments... Russ K5ZZR
