All:

It appears that one of the motors on my 3 element SteppIR has failed. I
noticed the SWR had shifted badly on several bands so I thought it might
need recalibrating. During the calibration process, I heard what appeared to
be the sound of a jammed motor similar to what a jammed electric drill might
sound like.

My guess is that the motor itself might be fine, but it could be the
beryllium-copper element that's damaged or possibly a broken sprocket.
Whatever the case maybe, I might need a new motor and was wondering if any
one has priced them?

My antenna is about 13 years old - hope it's worth investing in.

Tony
