NAY NAY NAY....

consider: why put it on?

i have one...it sucks. really, it sucks. it locks up all the time, and as
one guy here said, you gotta go jiggle it. 1 or 2 or 3 trips to the top of
the tower in january will convince you that it aint worth it.

and consider: whats the benefit? how often you gonna replace the rotator?

this connector is a BIG mistake.
