[TowerTalk] Yaesu rotors

[Joe]

I've been using a Yaesu G-1000SDX for many years - bought it when I was in 
Alaska.  While there, the temperatures hit - 40 F, we recorded 125 mph wind 
gusts, and had 20 feet of snow over a winter.  I love all the 
features:  450 degree rotation, computer interconnect with an inexpensive 
interface from IdiomPress, and the preset.  Works fine - buy one.  ;-)

73,
