[TowerTalk] TX472MDP Rotator

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

John, I had similar problems with T2X in an LM-470.  I was advised by 
Skip (KJ6Y?) to install 1-2" lengths of angle aluminum spacers attached 
to each of the three vertical pipes to support the rotor plate in the 
center of the face (opening) so that the rotor's protruding flanges 
don't contact the struts when turning.  I have also used pipe clamps on 
each pipe with their screw housings pointed toward the inside of the 
tower to support the plate. The plate rests on the housings.

Nevertheless, I recently had to replace a T2X because it had outlived 
its usefulness.  A Yaesu G-1000 fits easily into the LM-470 and turns a 
four element Steppir Yagi.

73, Joe
