| I made the decision to go with the XM240. I have the same combo, XM240 
over a 4 element SteppIR.  So far the XM240 has been a good antenna, but 
it has only been up for a short time.  It is working well.  If you 
should decide on the XM240, you may want to read this:

The problems I found were minor and eaasily corrected on the ground. 
Luckily I found them before I put the antenna up.
