WORKS!!!
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
I bought one of these rugged litle workhorses a few years ago to turn a 2 meter yagi. When we moved to our house i put it up on the roof to turn a Cushcraft 148 20T and a 3 element 6 meter beam. When i took them down i put up a 30' push up pole with a 2 element triband HF beam. Here last fall we put up a TV antenna array and well, you guessed it, up went the U 105!!! After all these antennas and different windloads the little rotator still work great!! I now have another up on the roof mounted to a chimney turning a Avanti Moonraker 4 10 meter beam but i also have a thrust bearing just above the rotator for added support. We will see how well the rotator works under the stress of a larger antenna!!!

Second and Strong
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
Have actually owned two of these: one for our television antenna, and one purchased for the ham antenna.
The one we're using for the television antenna has been running strong for going on probably 3 years now, and that's with daily use (we don't have cable here). Because of how well it's held up, I purchased the same one to turn my Cushcraft 2M 10 element beam.
This rotor can handle a great load with ease. The beam weighed 6lbs and it was up around 40 feet with a 6' turning radius and the high winds from a couple storms never phased it.
Great rotor and worth every penny.

Good little rotor
|
Time owned: 6 to 12 months
|

I had this rotator up for 6 mo. back when i lived in town. I had it up 36' on top of a push up pole and had a 5 ele beam 2 m and a 2 meter verticle. The rotator worked well for what it is and i never had any problems. The only gripe I have is it needs resynchronised every so often but other than that its a decent rotator!
