I have an Orion 2800PDC. Excellent rotor! Installation is pretty
straightforward. The holes on a standard Rohn rotor plate will not line up
so be prepared to drill new ones. Or you could buy a rotor plate that is
made for the Orion. I believe Array Solutions carries them as do others.
Other than that, it's a fairly simple install. Also, if your rotor cable is
150'+ you may need to run some RG-58 for the read\write pulse lines. Mine
is around 250' and even though I bought the heavy duty rotor cable from
TheWireMan that says it is specifically made for this type of installation I
had to run a seperate length of RG-58.
