I'm considering replacing my 3 element TGM beam. I'm not happy with it's
performance, but when I look at the manufactures stated specifications the
only ones I can believe is the mechanical ones due to the different ways of
proving the forward gain, FB ratio etc.

The SteppIR does do a test of their product that is depicted on their WEB
page and it looks like a good test to determine their electrical
specifications.

Is there any place one can get the straight skinny on the each true, (apples
to apples), beams performance to not make a second mistake?

Maybe some who frequent this reflector can lend some opinions.

I have been considering the SteppIR, 2 element or the 3 element beam.

I like to operate 20 through 10 meters including 17 and 24 meters.

Thanks.
