    As previously stated, Hy-Gain and Yaesu both publish ratings - K Factor
for yaesu and Effective Moment for Hy-Gain. It's in their sales literature.
Besides the Orion, they are about the only rotators currently available since
EEB dropped the Create and Emoto lines.

      The Ham IV has an EM of 2400 ft.lbs.
