Howdy --
 
    According to the rotator specs in my UP THE TOWER  book, the T2X has 
1000 in/lbs of rotating torque and 9000 in/lbs of braking  torque. The 2800 
has 2170 in/lbs or rotating torque and 21,700 in/lbs of braking  torque. 
Clearly the Yaesu is the superior rotator and has NONE of the  traditional 
problems that the T2X does.
