[TowerTalk] New Hy Gain T2X ?

[Wayne Kline]

Bob,

The hi Gain/Telex  now MFJ is a reliable  rotor   it’s flaws are well documented ( stuck wedge brake full travel ) and  the slip off BRAKE  botton  while turning at full speed  and load.

There a a number of compentent rebuilders out there .    it will last you many more years  I am sure …

Subject: [TowerTalk] New Hy Gain T2X ?

I am planning on replacing my 28 year old Hy Gain T2X on one of my towers.   It has finally given up.  I have a Force 12 C3 on the mast.  12  foot boom,  not much load to contend with.  I was originally thinking of doing a rebuild but I'm now thinking of getting a new unit.  The reviews on EHAM aren't all that great but I am inclined to take them with a grain of salt.  Unless you have the brake delay it is likely you may release the turn button and engage the brake too soon and damage the unit.   Common issue.   Thought I would ask the groups opinion about a new T2X.  Do you know if they have they changed the internals on the new units to be not as reiable as the older ones ?
Am I safe to get a new T2X now ?
