Hi Rich,
I have some friends here, Gary and Marlaina Lieberg, who bought one of those
verticals. It was quite easy for them to assemble and a few of us went over
there to help set it up. It seemed to work pretty well for them.
In terms of radials on a rooftop installation, you could easily use multi
conductor wire, say four or five conductor, and then trim each wire of a
specific set for a different length. That way, you could have four
different radials laid out each of which might have a 33 foot section, a 23
foot section, a 16 foot section, etc.
Take care and good luck. Very 73.
Kevin :)

Hi everyone;
I realize its 15 degrees here but I was looking through e ham and came
across the stepir vertical. There apparently is a control box that changes
the length to fit the frequency. I wonder if anyone here has played with
one of these and knows how usable it is? I am still a bit vague as to how
you would realistically get two or three resonant radials for each band when
using a roof mounted system?
Rich
