[TowerTalk] tower/rotator woes...

[john at kk9a.com]

I concur or the durability of Yaesu rotators. I had two G-2800DXA's in
windy Aruba turning heavy-duty monobanders and never had an issue.  There
is no brake to mess with or break and I found the standard control box
perfectly adequate. The original poster would have been money ahead if he
bought one instead of the numerous Hy-Gain rotators.

I fought with the T2X for year.  I finally said enough was enough when I
busted the plastic CW- BRAKE - CCW levers on the control box from so much
finagling.  I went Yaesu 2800 and never looked back.  The control boxes are
an issue.  But I know have the HyGain Universal digital control box
replacement and am very happy.  Some also report liking the Green Heron
option.



I am VERY pleased with the robustness and reliability of the 2800.
