hello trevor, the orion 2800 is a triangle shaped rotator and will
fit in a 25g rohn tower. it has a rs232 port, i use two of them here
one to turn my 6 meter stack of two 9el 40ft booms and the other
turns a steppir monstir that has 70ft long 3el on a 34ft boom and
weighs 265lb. the rotator has to be able to not only turn the load
but hold it in the wind. the prosistel rotators mount outside of the
tower. they may have a smaller one that would mount inside. take
care, c u mike w6quv
