[TowerTalk] Do you think a T2X can handle a C31XR and Magnum240N?

[Steve London]

I'll add a third voice in agreement.

It's easy to say don't turn it on a windy day, but unfortunately, contests 
sometimes (often ?) happen on windy days.

If you're handy at repairing T2X's, the problem is usually just one chewed-up 
gear. CATS and others have replacement parts at very reasonable prices, compared 
to buying a new rotator.
