George, I replaced my 5-year-old Force 12 C-3 with a 3el+6m SteppIR about 3 months ago. Although I have not had the two antennas side by side, my impression is that the SteppIR puts out a bigger sign

If the (conducting) elements are retracted completely in to the boom, then the pulse delivered to the linear amp, RX, etc., through the feedline from a _nearby_ strike will be much smaller. I agree t

Steve, I believe he's referring to retracting the copper tape back into the housing, not collapsing the fiberglas housing. I do the same thing... Push a couple buttons, and it's done. Hardly more wor

Steve, I should have been clearer. The fiberglass pieces are hollow tubes inside of which are the copper-beryllium elements that are "stepped" to match the frequencies. It is these internal elements

Anyone using the SteppIR in a 2 or three element configuration? Good or bad? Value for the bucks (pounds/euro)? How high off ground? Minimum height requirements, turning circle etc. George Shaw MI3GT

I can think of a number of possible ways to accomplish this: 1. Two BigIRs back to back for each element. This might get expensive as it would require 2 stepper motors on each element. 2. A fixed ele

Folks, In brainstorming how to 'make a steppIR cheaper'....you're misleading yourselves. First of all, the IDEA of the steppIR is not revolutionary. There's a design in one of my notebooks dated 1979

What one can do with a stock SteppIR, is make changes to the antenna element lengths, and then save the dimensions. Later, the control box indicator will show a small symbol, indicating that the fac
