What I do is model the STACK for the parameters I am most interested in,
usually that is for max gain. I then adjust the elements to those physical
lengths. The software does not know that there is a stack so I must adjust
each antenna individually. The actual procedure is a bit more complex
involving several steps but once recorded to memory it requires only a quick
push of a button.

I'm curious. Generally speaking, yagis in a stack need to be optimized for
that use, particularly to get the best F/B ratio out of them. Does the
SteppIR software "know" that your antennas are in a stack, or is it just
doing what it knows how to do with each antenna as a separate entity?
