I should have also asked about Yaesu's rotator reliability...

Thanks to all.  I learned a lot.  Since RS232 is a future requirement and
since the C36XR 70 mph mast torque is < 120 in-lbs I can turn it with a
Yaesu G800SDX at $399 or a G1000DXA at $479 and add a $179 SARtek RS232
interface later.  Both the Yaesu rotators have 600 in-lbs rotating torque.
