[TowerTalk] Big RAK in HDX589 ?

[Bob K6UJ]

 OK, the Big Rak is a no go then.   :-(
Now the question is whether the small RAK will fit and allow the tower to completely retract..............

It's worse than that.  The Big RAK would prevent you from lowering the
tower all the way.  On my HDX-5106, it would not go below 50 feet.
It's the same as the fact that I have to extend the tower to
50 feet to install or uninstall any rotor.  I extend it horizontally
while it is laid down on saw horses.
