[TowerTalk] Rotator Choice for Larger Yagi

[W3YY]

I've also had excellent results with a G-2800DXA rotating a 2-el Force 12
Magnum 240N 40M beam at 120ft and a G-1000DXA rotating a 4-el SteppIR at
100ft.  Over a decade with no problems.  I use Green Heron RT-21D
controllers.

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.
