    Hmm. The AS25G rotator shelf will only fit at the leg junction and it 
looks to me that there isn't enough clearance between the two adjoining 
horizontals vis-a-vis where the rotator will sit to give enough clearance for 
T2X operation without cutting some braces out (I took a T2X out to the 
boneyard to a 25G section to try this). Has anyone actually mounted a T2X in 
this spot and what did you have to do to get it to fit and turn?

    That's the right answer. The tapered tops all have areas of no diagonals 
for this purpose.

    Same as previous answer.

    A Ham IV will fit just fine - looks like the T2X has limited 25G 
application.
