Priced by the foot: $2.38 / ft.$0.00
This cable must be run from the controller/remote driver board to the antenna directly, is responsible for powering the antenna’s EHUs (Element Housing Units), is double shielded to protect from RFI/EFI, and has a UV rated insulation. We do not recommend using this cable for lengths greater than 400ft (see remote driver board).

$0.00
The voltage suppressor comes in a fully sealed weather-proof housing and helps protect the controller against ESD events like near-incident lightning or static storms.

Description

The 2 Element Yagi has the highest value-to-performance of any of our antennas and is the antenna of choice for DX-peditions.

The SteppIR 2 element 20m-6m Yagi with 40/30 loop covers 8 ham bands (40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m) and every frequency in between. This model takes our standard 20m-6m Yagi and replaces the 36 foot (10.98m) straight element with a 39 foot (11.89m) looped driven element.  Our patented folded loop elements allow for an element to be 40% shorter in overall length while giving up just 0.3dB of gain performance when compared to a full-length dipole.  Instead of a dipole length of 65 feet (19.8m), the length is 39 feet (11.89m). When the antenna is a dipole on 40m and 30m, the passive element is retracted so that there is zero potential for interaction between the 2 elements.  In addition, the longer-length driven element has minimal effect on the turning radius and adds just 2 square feet (0.19 sq m) to the wind load (EIA-222-C).  The 40/30 loop functions as a dipole continuously from 6.90 Mhz to 13.2 Mhz and as a 2 element Yagi from 13.3 Mhz-54 Mhz.

*Due to the confusion about the EIA/TIA wind ratings, SteppIR is now using PROJECTED AREA as the measurement for our customers to utilize when sizing an antenna to a tower. Projected area by definition is the total perpendicular surface area measured in square feet/square meters, that is exposed to wind. To calculate wind load you always take the largest projected area whether that is from the perspective perpendicular to the boom or perpendicular to the elements. In the case of SteppIR Yagi’s, the maximum projected area will always be the sum of the surface area’s perpendicular to the Yagi elements. This calculation is a constant number and will not change regardless of EIA specification changes. Be sure to present this information (along with the weight of the antenna, turning radius, element lengths, height of antenna, location exposure category, locations three-second gust wind speed, and locations maximum radial ice loading) to your structural engineer and/or tower manufacturer so that they can specify the correct product for your antenna.
