 Now you guys got me worried. 
About to buy/install G-2800DXA Yaesu into LM-354E (not the "HD.") You may 
recall my multiple T2X w/Pro-57b woes; I've decided 1st class this time w/the 
G2800DXA. Seeing your msg now I'm worrying the G2800 may not even fit in 
between the LM354's bars? Perhaps I should try the G1000 1st??? I can drill the 
adapter plate, that's no biggie. 
However I had a hell of a time getting the 1st Tailtwister T2X installed 
between the tower horizontal supports at the top of tower. Ended up "slightly" 
bending one of the very top cross "/\/\/\/" bars so I could get the T2X in (It 
fit adapter-plate holes.) It moves up/down anywhere in top section; typically 
placing it several cross bars down f/top to avoid the slightly bent section @ 
top. (15' mast)
Winds here never really big as we have a mild-salt-air environment. Largest 
wind ever recorded here @ a nearby airport (& my wx station) was a short gust 
of 95mph/sustained ~65ish. Once in a half-century storm. I'm not going to worry 
about wx here.
Q: Should I try G1000 1st before going to the 2800? Will fitment be critical 
between the two?
Thank you, Dave K6JOX
