[TowerTalk] Comparison between Tailtwister and Yaesu G-1000SDX rotors

[kb9cry at comcast.net]

Charles, I'm obviously jaded, but my suggestion is neither.  I'd go with an AlfaSpid worm gear rotator.  Same price, more torque, no brakes to break, computer controllable, electronic presets.  I have one turning a 3 el 40M yagi and I love it.  I'm planning on selling my spare Ham IVs and buying Spids to replace those up in the air when they crap out, and they will.  Check it out; I'm confident you'd be pleased if you purchased one.  Phil  KB9CRY
