My 4" antenna radar was broken and I found a 6" good working condition in my local service it was taken from 72nm RSB0072-060. I see a radar motor is difference, my radar motor is RM-8025 but RSB0072 is RM-8367, will RM-8025 can run 6" antenna? please advise. Thank you

That gearbox (1943/1944C) was designed for a maximum of 4 foot antenna sticks. I have seen people use 6ft and it will normally work but the extra load will likely cause the motor to wear a bit faster and could have a harder time when encountering extreme wind conditions.
