FluidMotion 3 Element SteppIR
|
A decision on a multi band antenna at the qth was a difficult one to make. The Amateur radio antenna market is a minefield of good and not so good products all promising magical gain figures, outstanding front to back ratios and super low angle radiation patterns.
I believe any multi bander is going to have its limitations the SteppIR been no exception to the rule. I did however feel that the theory behind the antenna was excellent, if the hardware was reliable and could stand up to the elements it could be a winner. I took a gamble! and went with the SteppIR The technology (motors/firmware) has been flawless, all aspects of performance have proved 100%. The antenna has been in use for 4 years at my qth and has not failed in any aspect of construction or operation and as you can see from the You Tube clip recorded in my back yard its had its fair share of hardship from the Irish weather! |
