Stewart:
Go to the Texas Towers web site http://www.texastowers.com and check out he
Yeasu rotor info. You need to look at the K Factor rating for the G800. It
also gives you the formula to calculate the K Factor rating of your antenna.
I'll bet the beam is going to be too big for the rotor, but you need to check
the math, it may work.
