[HCARC] Yaesu GA-3000 Rotor Shock Mount

[Bill Tynan]

Gary and all:

No, I don't have one, although I have had a 2800 for abt 15 years. It's the 
best rotator I've ever had. Of course, I don't have a big 4 element 20 or a 
40 meter beam, just the 50 ft boom M2 for 6 meters, the 36 ft boom 2 meter 
and other assorted VHF and UHF antennas. If I was to have a big 20 meter 
beam or a 40 meter beam, I probably would be worried abt the shock and would 
have the GA-3000.

My $.02 worth.

73,

Bill, W3XO
