K factor as defined by Yaesu (from their brochure) Turning radius X
weight.  Add each antenna in stacking situations.  I just called Hy-gain
and they call it effective moment.  T2X is rated at 3400ft/lbs.  Looks
like it will work for you.

I sure like the 450 degree rotation you get from the Yaesu and the
presets.  
Sure would be nice if Hy-Gain would upgrade their control box that comes
standard.  The DCU-1 is a tad pricey.
