I was an early SteppIR antenna user with a 3 element yagi at 100'.? When the antenna works...it works well.? When it doesn't........? If you are considering a SteppIR yagi, my advice would be to only put it on a crank up/over tower.? As you age, the ability or desire to climb the tower for repairs quickly fades.? I currently have a replacement antenna on order to replace the broken SteppIR and I know I am trading a bit of performance for reliability but for me and my Rohn 25 tower it makes sense for?the?long haul.? I was a lot younger when the Rohn 25 tower went up.
I like the concept of the SteppIR but not the maintenance needed.??
