Just as a point of reference, I ordered a 3 element SteppIR on March 1, 2004. I called, again, last week and was told that it would be about another 2 weeks. For what it is worth. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ
Have you tried twisting and turning the tower, from the top section, as it is on the ground? I would hope that you could make it clang while at ground level. As I mentioned some time ago, mine makes
I received a UPS shipping notice last night from Fluid Motion that my 3EL SteppIR had finally been shipped. Its been 2 1/2 months since I ordered it. So, if any of you are considering a new SteppIR f
Rusty: Good luck on your 4 element SteppIR. I ordered a 3 element on March 1st and was told that it would take about 6 weeks. It didn't arrive until May 18th. I guess they are selling everything that
In my opinion, cable that old should be replaced. The fact that you are questioning replacement indicates that you have some doubt in its overall service capability. If it is difficult to service you
If you have ever had a tower come crashing down, you would know that it is much better to do the "right" thing up front than have a big mess sitting in your back yard. 73 Bernard, WA4OEJ beam only ge
Jeff: Some things are just not worth taking note of. I am looking forward to putting up my new 3 element SteppIR, but, first, a couple of pine trees must disappear. That should happen within the next
I am certainly NOT embarrassed by my 2X3 call that I have had since April 1963. I've been an extra class for quite a while so I have had opportunities to change. I'm just not going to do it. LOL!!! J
I posted the following message on the Yahoo SteppIR board and thought that I might also get some ideas on this board. I have an interesting problem for all of you antenna experts out there. If you ha
I have also measured the SWRs with a completely different set of coax to eliminate coax and/ or connector problems. No difference. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ the cable is bad (does not show up until you hav
John: The tower is folded over. The antenna is almost vertical and the measurements are made in the 180 degree mode. If I tune in on a strong signal, say on 20M, and then do a calibrate, you can see

I don't think so. In previous tests, when I had the Ameritron antenna switch in line, I would switch to the GAP Challenger and measure the SWR on the same frequency. SWR was from 1.2 to 2.5 depending
Howard: Just curious, how far apart do you have your two antennas? I have a 3 element and have considered (just thinking) stacking two. 73, It seems strange that the harshest, possibly the only criti
What's to say that Fluid Motion can't take a few of these suggestions, like more memory in the controller and "protected" outputs and upgrade their product? I know that they monitor these boards from
Well, I might as well throw in my 2 cents. I was very interested (last Summer) in the Force 12 Sigma series of verticals for 80/ 40 M using the new Tornado tuning drive. My first email was answered p
Hey John, interesting to hear your comments! Agreed!!!! Force 12 really needs to take some swift action to solve this problem or problems that they are having. Just this week I talked to Molly at Cro
I would like to know who this ebay seller is because I have been bidding on some Collins equipment and your description sounds familiar. You can reply directly to me if you would rather not post the
Tom: Why not consider the SteppIR? IMO, their customer service is second to none. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ -- Original Message -- From: "WA2BPE" <wa2bpe@infoblvd.net> To: "Pete Smith" <n4zr@contesting.com
Do any of you have a good source or two for the 130-156MFD, 125 VAC starting capacitor used on the T2X rotor? TIA. 73, Bernard, WA4OEJ _______________________________________________ See: http://www.
