Glen -
I have a 4-element SteppIR at 100ft that I turn with a G-1000DXA without
problems, so you might be fine with that rotator. I also own a G-2800DXA
that I use with a Force 12 Magnum 240N, and it is a fine, and probably
significantly superior, rotator. If you have $500 or $600 extra in your
budget, go for the 2800, but I'm guessing you'll be fine with the 1000.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rotator Choice....Yaesu 2800 or Yaesu 1000??
We are putting up a new tower and will have a 3 element SteppIR on it. The
wind load for this antenna is well under the spec for the Yaesu 1000 BUT we
have had
2 occasions in the last 6 months to have winds gusting to well over 80 mph.
Would the Yaesu 2800 be a better choice given our wind conditions on top of
a hill here in New Hampshire ???
