[TowerTalk] beam slippage

[ab7r at cablespeed.com]

I've heard the Slip-Nott works pretty well.  

I have an Orion 2800 and pinning the mast voids the warranty.  Not sure about the Yaesu though.  Also their mast 
clamps are cast aluminim I believe and not sure how they would hold up under the torque.

Champion Radio products makes a mast bracket replacement for the 2800 that should eliminate ANY slipping.  Maybe 
they do one for the Yaesu also?

GL!
