It looks like the T2X can't handle a C31XR and a EF240X. The torque spec on the T2X is 3400 ft lbs (weight x turning radius). The turning radius of the EF240X is 25.1' the weight of the two antennas

Pete, In a weeks time , I'll be rotating a C31XR & an Xm-240 which together weigh about 137 lbs. & I'll be using same density mast as a the chrome moly you'll be using (length 15' = 97.5 lbs.). Rotat

You do not have to include the weight of the mast in your calculations. Its "turning radius" is only one inch so the total moment generated by the mast is only 140 pounds times 1/12 foot which is 11.

Never personally made calculations like these, but it seems like the antenna weight would be distributed all along an effective radius from zero to the turning radius, so aren't these calculations si

While the proposed load may not exceed the effective moment ratings, it seems like I remember a specific disclaimer that the T2X is not supposed to handle anything larger than a 24' boom. As I recall

on Sort of. If you're going to include the mast, you need the turning radius for it too. For practical purposes, just calculate the Effective Moment for the antennas and forget the mast. This will gi

True enough. I'd personally suggest an Orion 2800 until we get some BB's installed in the field for awhile and they have a track record for use and repairs. Cheers, Steve K7LXC -- FAQ on WWW: http://

Probably good advice Steve. At the local contest station, we use the Orion 2800 on a full size 3 el DX Engineering 40 mtr yagi @165'. It has done a good job, although it has required some repairs ove

Ty says... No, incorrect. It's not nearly that simple to calculate and has little to do the turning radius. It has to do with moment arm for each significant piece. You can essentially eliminate the

Yes, but the Orion is wimpy on the torque. It frequently will not turn the DX Engineering 3 el 40 when it's windy. . . . a real bummer when you're in the middle of a contest. --Original Message-- Fro
