Well, now I have no excuse to put my Innovantenna 4el LFA up, Just "aquired" a Kenrotor KR2000. Reason I choose it, it has a brake. I have a old CDE light/mid duty rotor but has no brake. We get gusty winds twice a year here. Felt I need a rotor assembly to "hold" it steady. Seems the Yaesu rotor line is a "off breed" all on their own vs the Hy Gain Ham series, this Kenrotor looks no newer than some of the Hy gain "used" inventory out there. Just asking if anyone has used or known of these. If not, I'm willing to give my "2 Pence" on the matter once it arrives. Kind of excited really. lol 2CT351 Jeremy

KenRator or Kenpro? If it's Kenpro that's what they were called before Yaesu got them and rebranded them.

typo, Kenrotor KR2000 is what I bought, I see they made a KR2000RC also, after doing a little more research (after purchase) thats what I came to the conclusion, Yaesu. Not a bad rotor, just not alot of replacemnt parts if needed as opposed to a Hy-Gain/CDE. Fingers crossed on this one. Comes with the OE box and hardware. Someone in another radio group mentioned KenPro, which seems to relate to Kenrotor products or Product line. It will be gone through once it arrives, see if it even works .lol Live and Learn is sometimes my moto here. I learn the hard way at times, but I learn.
