While we're talking customer service, my neighbor W6GJB had two equally 
bad experiences with SteppIR repairs of motor assemblies for his nearly 
new DB18. This was roughly 12-18 months ago. A motor assembly sent in 
for repair, 6-8 weeks later he calls, "oh, it's here ready to ship." He 
gets it installed, figures out that the other two are also bad, sends 
them for repair. 6-8 weeks later he calss, "oh, they're here ready to 
ship."  And this was for a nearly new antenna in warranty.

I have one of the original 3-el SteppIRs and I love it. But I don't love 
their service.
