Great Antenna, Great Support

I have looked at purchasing this antenna for quite a while and recently was able to buy one used. The performance is outstanding. I replace a 5BTV that worked well with the radial system, but I was not prepared for the signal increase that the Steppir offered at my location. Stations that I talk to normally all report a better signal and I hear more than in the past. I have a very marginal location; in a hole with radials only in a 90 degree pattern. The installation is straightforward, although as others have said the manual does need some work.
If you do need Tech Support their support is superb. The issues that I had we all self induced, but Marty spent an hour with me making sure that I had corrected the issues and had a good working knowledge of the antenna.
The unit is definitely worth the money in my opinion. I just wish I had bought one earlier.
