[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Rotators

[Merv Schweigert]

If you think 719.00  is high for a rotor, dont even guess what a 
new made prop pitch would cost.  If anyone has had one apart
and seen the machining and gear size and accuracy, it would cost
more than what you have in your whole ham station,  especially
for the quantity involved.   If you have a good prop pitch, and 
its properly weatherproofed, all you have to do is change motor
brushes every 10 years (?)  it will never wear out with ham use.
The M2 box has made prop pitchs a viable alternative these days,
finally got rid of the headaches of the selsyn drives and extra wires.
