[TowerTalk] G800SDX and 3ele 40m KLM

[S Cooper]

I am about to put up a 3 ele KLM 40m yagi. I have a prop pitch, a G800SDX and a HAM 4 available for this job. I know the prop pitch is the only sensible thing to use to rotate it. However, I am only putting the thing up for the summer. So... would the G800 take the strain? That's what's currently up the tower. The HAM 4 has a problem with long cable runs (I have 200ft+) where the brake won't release. And getting the prop pitch going has become more difficult than I remembered (plus, I have no directional feedback).
Will the G800SDX handle it?
Any easy solution to the voltage drop on long lines to a HAM 4?
Need some down to earth practical info on prop pitches. Is there a web site? Is there a difference between the types found in the UK and the US? Three wires come out of this prop pitch - how can I identify which is which?
