[TowerTalk] G800SDX and 3ele 40m KLM

[Richard Thorne]

Stewart:

Go to the Texas Towers web site http://www.texastowers.com and check out he Yeasu rotor info.  You need to look at the K Factor rating for the G800.  It also gives you the formula to calculate the K Factor rating of your antenna.

I'll bet the beam is going to be too big for the rotor, but you need to check the math, it may work.

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).
