No.  Triband antennas have multiple elements or sections of the elements 
that are not needed on other bands.  This is not true with a SteppIR.

When the SteppIR is tuned for 20m it will not work very well on any 
other band.  It is not a tribander.  It is a antennas that can be tuned 
from 6m to 20m or beyond on any frequency.
