[HCARC] Yaesu GA-3000 Rotor Shock Mount

[Gary J - N5BAA]

In CQ magazine I saw a reference to a Yaesu GA-3000 rotor Shock Mount that is designed to absorb the shock of a large antenna array stopping when using the Yaesu 2800 rotor.  It supposedly absorbs the shock of stopping thus helping to prevent damage to the turning rings.  While I don’t either have an array that is big, nor the ability to mount a 2800 rotor in my crank up tower, it was something I have not heard of in any of our presentations on antenna towers.  DOES ANYONE USE THIS Shock Mount or is it some extra stuff that only the BIG GUNS with BIG TOWERS need to be concerned with.
