[TowerTalk] Will a Yaesu G2800 fit in a Triex LM470D

Wed Feb 8 16:59:35 EST 2017

Terry,

You asked about the rotor and if it will fit and didn't look like you had the dimensions.  Well here you go.  Will the 1/2 inch difference matter?  That is something you'll have to measure.  I have the same tower and am at work but if you crank it down you should be able to measure the inside dimension of the top section when it's cranked down.

G-1000DXA Specifications

7.5 inches diameter 12.5 inches high (186 x 300 mm)

G-2800DXA Specifications

8 inch dimater 13.675 inches high (200 x 345) mm

The ARRL insurance is great, but it's quite expensive if you have a contest station with multiple towers, lots of antennas and pricey equipment.

My homeowner's policy covered about $10K of damage to my ham gear and other devices in my house from a lightning strike (probably not directly on the tower, but a nearby surge picked up by the tower.) The insurance company knew it was ham gear because they had to hire a technical consultant to evaluate the damage. They didn't ask questions about the tower, which they probably didn't know about, or how the surge got to the equipment. (FWIW, I've taken steps to prevent a recurrence.)

I have accessory structure coverage, too, but honestly don't know if it would cover damage to the tower or antennas. The most probable damage would be from wind in conjunction with heavy ice buildup. Somewhat rare where I live, but not impossible.

73, Dick WC1M

TT:

     After I had installed my tower in 2001, I contacted my insurance agent about coverage.  She told me that my tower is covered as an accessory structure.  That return email from her is in my tower file.  YMMV.

California is always out in left field.  Years ago in Ohio, my antennas and towers were covered without question as "auxiliary structures" - no different than the barn, detached garage and summer kitchen on my property.  The only issue is that coverage for "auxiliary structures"
is generally limited to 10% of the primary coverage.

I had occasion to test the coverage as the result of winter storms and there was no issue.  The damaged antennas and cost of replacement were covered without question (after providing the necessary proof of loss).

Does anyone know if a Yaesu G-2800 DXA will fit into the top section of an LM-470D

I am using an active 8-foot vertical elevated at the base about 25 feet
(on a roof edge) for receive-only (RBN).  Would the antenna be more
sensitive ifI directly grounded the case (and coax shield) to a ground
rod directly below the antenna?  It does not currently have common mode
chokes on the feedline

Hi terry

 the 2800
Rotator Dimension:      8 inch dimater 13.675 inches high (200 x 345) mm

 and the 1000 are
Rotator Dimension:      7.5 inches diameter 12.5 inches high (186 x 300 mm)

I am not sure of the  47d's rotor shelf  but  it's only 1/2 in dia  bigger and  1 1/8 in taller .

Yes it will, I have had all the Yaesu rotors on the same base plate in the
top section of an LM470, they all fit. The G2800 is slightly taller so you
may have to drop the mounting plate down a little further.
