[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-1000DXA Rtor in LM-470?

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

Thanks to all for the comforting info.  The reason I asked is that I 
briefly owned a 2800 and it was difficult getting the protruding 
connector out of the way of the tower's struts.  A right angle connector 
would have been a boon.  At any rate, there's a G1000 available and I'll 
probably be buying it.

Many thanks for the help.

73, Joe
