When you can vary the element lengths, fixed spacing issues are not a big deal. Are single band antennas going to beat it. Probably. Even in a model single band antenna the sweet spot is one place. Right?

Seems like the Step is a nice antenna as the element lengths are all correct per band, but how about spacing between elements. Just doesn't seem that there could be a sweet spot that is perfect for every band.

I see now that some are around $6000 for the big ones. That is a lotta dough for an antenna :-) 73

Agreed!

A StepIR IS NOT the end all of antennas. Just because you have one and paid LOTS of money for it doesn't make it the best antenna in many respects.
