It sounds like your coax is not connected to the driven element. It could
be a dead balan, bad connection or that the DE is fully retracted (if that's
possible with a SteppIR).

My SteppIR is exhibiting high SWR at all frequencies. Varying the length of
the
driven element does not affect it.
If I plug only the center conductor of the coax into the rig the noise level
is
much
higher than when the shield makes contact. Any SWAG's as to what this means
the
problem likely is?
