Definitely the SteppIR .... is the best way to go... I have had a SteppIR MonstIR for 4+ years... never ever need to use a tuner running a KW as the antenna is always close to 1:1....
I might note that the advantage of a self tuned antenna is that there are no losses from tuners... DDUTIL sure makes it easy to use the SteppIR with my Flex5000. __________________________________________________________ Howard S. White Ph.D. P.
