[TowerTalk] Rotator Questions

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Craig,
Looking at the photos on your site, I noted that it seems that the LMR600 is
in the rotator loop.  Is that what is happening here and if so, how does the
LMR600 handle being rotated back and forth?

Bill:

I was concerned about the rotator also. The 2800 gets alot of work at my QTH
and I am pleased with its performance. I have the MonstIR, 2m and 70cm
antenna in a US Tower HDX 589 tower. It is the biggest rotator that will fit
the top section of that tower. The Prosistel won't fit per UST. Prosistel
had a new one at Dayton but am not sure that it is bigger than the 2800 or
will fit. I run the 2800 at its slowest speed because of the torque from the
antennas. 

Good luck with your decision.
