[TowerTalk] Ham IV vs Yaesu

[Joe - WDØM]

Used to have a Ham IV - sold it and bought the 
Yaesu G-1000.  I'm very happy with that 
decision.  I've had the Yaesu for about 7 years, 
and had no problems.  Used it when I lived in 
Alaska, and it survived 100 mph plus wind gusts, 
turning a Mosley Pro57B40 and a Cushcraft 5L 6M 
beam.  It now turns my SteppIR 4L, and the wind 
gusts here in CO have hit 88 mph.  Combined with 
the IdiomPress rotor controller card, it's a 
wonderful piece of equipment.  YMMV....

73,
