They announced sometime back that they were "simplifying" the ordering and manufacturing process and creating packaged antennas that included the most popular options bundled. You can argue the strategy, but it's not indicative of a company in trouble as the first note suggested. I suspect a phone call would get you want you wanted if the bundle wasn't satisfactory. My experience is they are very easy to work with.

I was looking for an old style (straight element) 20-10M dipole. No longer appears on the site as best as I can tell. 
There�s a heading for Dipole but it�s for an add-on  not a plain standalone unit. Maybe 
I�m just missing it.

When I looked last Friday you could no longer buy the standard 20-6M
products ( 3E, 2E etc) . You now had no choice but to but buy an antenna
With the 30/40M sweeps which have been problematic.

Go here
https://consumer.steppir.com/product-category/horizontal-antennas/

Tthen click on "3Element Products" ..You will see they no longer offer
the 20-6 3E or under 2element products they no longer offer the 2E

What evidence do you have for that statement?
The web site looks like it has the same products they have for years.

Howdy, TowerTalkians -

??? ??? This is a little off topic so feel free to use your delete
key.?????? ??? In the last month I've spotted 3 big HF yagi
installations mounted on non-ham towers on non-ham properties. One
had 3 big yagis, one was a big SteppIR by itself and the other had 2
big SteppIRs. All were pointed fixed east (I'm in the Seattle
area).?????? ??? Turns out that these are probably used in High
Frequency Trading. That is, stock trading where fiber wasn't fast
enough and the users have turned to HF to decrease the lag time. I
thought it was pretty interesting and I'm curious how much this is
being used. And at least they're not in the ham bands -
hi.??????Cheers,Steve??? ??? K7LXC
