[TowerTalk] SteppIR BI-directional mode

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs
     If you full retract the director/s and reflector then it will take
longer switching to forward or reverse directions.   The preset
bi-directional setting only moves the tape a few inches and so takes little
time.

      Also as previously stated, SteppIR states that there is gain in both
forward and reverse directions when using their bi-directional setting.

Why not retract the reflector and director and use it as a dipole?

##  sure, that will work.  But if a DIR-DE-DIR  combo yields bi-directional
gain, that would be even better.   I will have to model it, since nobody
really knows for sure.
