[TowerTalk] Big Rak and HDX-555

[Bob K6UJ]

I agree with you guys.  You can buy the OR2800 without the controller.  The Green Heron controller is a much better way to go.  Also get the K7NV mast clamp designed for the OR2800.  The mast clamp that comes with the OR2800 slips even when the clamp bolts are carefully torqued down.  Ask me how I know this  hihi.  
Here's info on the Green Heron controller and the K7NV mast clamp:
