[TowerTalk] Advice pse : Log Periodic versus small Steppir

[Tom Anderson]

I have a T10 and wouldn't trade it for anything.  I'm not flaming Steppir's, but I've had several friends who have them and they have reported numerous problems, the problems get fixed, but the problems can be a headache until, they are fixed.

Also, I worked at a field day site last year that had a SteppIR and for whatever reason, it nevere worked right, the SWR was always way too high.  Not having ever used a SteppIR or having any knowledge about them I couldn't help that repair group.

To be equal, you have the assemble the Tennadyne series, T6, T8, T10, etc. exactly as the instructions say or they don't work properly either.
