- I heard a story about an Orion rotator failing. It was turning a MonstIR using a 2 inch mast. Is there anyone on this list using the Orion with a big antenna such as the MonstIR? If so, has it failed

- My 2800 Orion DC turns an entire tower loaded with two OptiBeam OB16-3's, an OptiBeam 2 el 30-40 and a 2 meter stinger at the top. No problems at all. Thats in excess of 30 sq ft of windload. The oth

- It depends on what is meant by "failed". The Orion rotator is prone to having the readout direction not agreeing to where the antenna is pointing. This is caused by two reasons. One is that the curre

- Let you give me my advice about my orion rotator showing degrees off .I have one installed 75m away from my shack. A long run of cable turning a KT34XA.It was installed last year before CQWW contest.

- Better to have the mast slip than have something break. My solution to this problem is to use the Green Heron Engineering controller. You just re-calibrate and do so whenever the mast slips again/mor

- Going to a 3" mast should improve the grip, however before I would do that I would carefully look at the mast clamp. There has been a lot of posts about the Orion clamps slipping and the bolts loosen

- The coax loop is only an issue if the antenna slips on the mast. It is not an issue if the rotator slips on the mast and you reset it in software. Rick N6RK _________________________________________

- Yes, you are correct. Still I think that a slipping mast is a poor installation and if it slips far enough before you reset it, the wind could damage your coax. The coax loop is only an issue if the
