Once upon a time in the 80's, Ping Golf made set of irons from BeCu which
they discontinued due to the "environmental and worker" hazard. Those clubs
today are worth a fortune. I have a set and although they are wonderful
clubs, the mystique of the rare BeCu has driven the used market value of
these clubs beyond reason. Ping's application was a day in/day out
manufacturing exposure to BeCu which included some grinding and polishing.
I saw the BeCu in my SteppIR only briefly when I assembled it. It is
certainly safe for the user in this application.
AND, this SteppIR is the most versatile 3 element yagi I've ever used. The
enclosed elements sold me since I'm oceanfront here and the ocean does a
number on the aluminum yagi's. I normally need to refurbish the aluminum
yagis, rotors, and replace the coax and hardware once every 2-3 years. The
SteppIR promises a much longer life.
