[TowerTalk] Rotator Choice for Larger Yagi

[john at kk9a.com]

I do not recall seeing any negative posts on the Yaesu G-2800. They are
not in the same league as a prop pitch, but they are very good. I had two
of them at my P40A station.  The wind never stops in Aruba and I never had
an issue turning my antennas.

No one seems to like the Yaesu 2800.  I have 2.  One is turning a stack of
big yagis (6el 15M on 45 ft boom and 4 el 20M on 34 ft boom). Its loafing
with that load from what I can see.  8 years on the job and never a whimper.
-25F turn, wind, minor icing so far.  No issue.



I hate the controllers.  But the new Hygain controller for Yaesu is just the
ticket and reasonably priced.
