[TowerTalk] Weight on OR2800

[K7LXC@aol.com]

Howdy, TowerTalkians --

    Vic, W1TYQ, found the info that I was looking for and here it is. Tnx, 
Vic!

>  The instruction manual for the OR2800 dated 10/22/93 includes the 
following:

>  "You should also be aware that a 4000 lb trust bearing is located at 
the top of the rotator.  The OR-2800 is designed to handle the entire 
weight of your mast and antenna system.  We highly recommend that you 
take advantage of this feature.  If you still want another thrust 
bearing in the mast system, at least put some amount of weight on the 
OR-2800".

>  The instruction manual dated 11/12/97 does not include this 
information.  In fact it gives the vertical load capacity as 1800 lbs.
