[TowerTalk] Mounting Ham IV vs Yaesu SDX 2800

[K0DAN]

Sure, get a piece of paper and use it to make a template of both bolt hole
patterns. Be sure it is carefully drawn, and be careful the "center" =
"center". The drill the new holes as needed. About 20 years ago I drilled a
Ham-M rotor plate to add holes for the Yaesu pattern. I don't remember the
details but it was fairly straightforward and I think I was able to retain
one of the original holes and add two more to make it work. I think maybe
one hole was just slightly enlarged. I added some washers & split washers,
has worked fine ever since. YMMV.

I have a US Tower HDX 572 that has a rotator plate drilled for a Ham IV
rotator.  I need to install a Yaesu SDX 2800 rotator. I believe the Yaesu
requires a different mounting hole pattern.  Does anyone have tips / ideas
on how to most easily make the alteration to the existing mouting plate?
