Therre is only one these days thats worth a hoot. Its the 'all frequency'
SteppIR. Do a google on it, and read all the comments. You can tune it to
'any' frequency from 6.9 to 30Mhz and they are coming out with a 80 meter
kit... Its a optimized single band vertical on 'every' frequency, no traps,
coils, any of that bs...

Total coverage, it will tune anything your radio can tune! Thats the beaut
of it, it acts/tunes one hz at a time continuous. I was wrong about the
coverage however, it doesn't stop at 30Mhz, but goes all the way up to
52Mhz!

No traps, coils, capacitors or linear loading of any kind.

Full continuous coverage, including WARC bands-without compromise!

Fiberglass element resists wind and ice.

Low visual profile - excellent for stealth installations.

Works on the same principle as our Yagi - copper stip adjusts inside
of fiberglass element.

Antenna is always at ideal length- No running outside to make
adjustments.

The safest vertical antenna in the world!

"The radiating conductor is completely insulated at all times by the
telescoping fiberglass tube and antenna housing, protecting children and
pets from potential hazards."

Finally!, A high performace, low VSWR vertical antenna with excellent
bandwidth and no compromises !

Verticals are available that cover 40 meters through 6 meters by using
coils, traps, capacitors or linear loading, but do so at the expense of
significant performance reduction. With the addition on the WARC bands on
30m, 17m and 12m, multi-band vertical antenna performance has clearly become
a challenge.

A vertical antenna that is precisely adjustable in length while in the
air solves the coverage problem, and in addition has vastly improved
performance over existing fixed length verticals. The ability to tune the
antenna to a specific frequency results in excellent performance on every
band - and this means the entire band, with very low VSWR. Resonant antennas
must be made a specific length to operate optimally on a given frequency.
So, instead of trying to "trick" the antenna into thinking it is a different
length, why not just change the antenna length? This is what we have done
with the new SteppIR verticals.


Each vertical antenna consists of one spool of flat copper strip
conductor mounted in the antenna housing. The copper strip is perforated to
allow a stepper motor to drive it with a sprocket. Stepper motors are well
known for their ability to index very accurately, thus giving very precise
control of the antenna lenght. In addition, the motors are brushless and
provide extremely long service life.

The copper strip is drive out into a hollow, lightweight fiberglass
support element. This telescoping support element stays extended at all
times, while the conductive strip is adjusted to the exact required length
using the microprocessor based controller (via 22 gauge, 4 conductor
shielded control cable). The antenna is easy to assemble and is extremely
portable.
