The Yaesu G-2800DXA Extra Heavy-Duty Rotator System is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of both amateur and professional radio enthusiasts. Designed for precise and reliable rotation of large, tower-mounted antenna arrays, this rotator system ensures optimal performance and longevity in various operational conditions.

Key Features:

• Robust Load Capacity: Capable of handling a maximum vertical load of 661 lbs (300 kg), the G-2800DXA is ideal for supporting substantial antenna setups.

• Enhanced Rotation Range: The system offers a 450-degree rotation range, allowing antennas to rotate beyond a full circle for maximum directional flexibility.

• Variable Speed Control: Operators can adjust the rotation speed between 50 to 120 seconds for a full 360-degree turn, facilitating precise antenna positioning.

• Preset and Hands-Free Operation: The preset control feature enables automatic rotation to a desired heading, allowing for hands-free operation during intensive communication sessions.

• Planetary Gear System: Incorporating a planetary gear mechanism, the rotator ensures improved braking and precision, essential for managing large antenna arrays.

• GA-3000 Shock Absorber Joint: To prolong the lifespan of both the tower and rotator, the optional GA-3000 shock absorber joint can be installed. This accessory mitigates metal-to-metal fatigue by eliminating direct contact, effectively reducing stress during antenna rotation.

Technical Specifications:

• Rotation Range: 450 degrees with 90 degrees overlapping rotation

• Mast Diameter Acceptance: 1.57 to 2.48 inches (40 to 63 mm)

• Controller Power Requirement: 230 VAC

• Control Cable Length: Includes a 130 ft (40 m) cable for flexible installation

• Wind Load Capacity: Supports antenna arrays with a wind load area up to 34 square feet

• Rotation Time: Adjustable between 50 to 120 seconds per 360-degree rotation

• Operating Temperature Range: Designed to function efficiently in various environmental conditions

The Yaesu G-2800DXA Extra Heavy-Duty Rotator System is a testament to Yaesu's commitment to quality and innovation in antenna rotator technology. Its combination of robust construction, precise control features, and optional accessories like the GA-3000 shock absorber joint makes it an excellent choice for operators seeking reliable and efficient antenna positioning solutions.
