I did not like the price but they do work well.
In the meantime I found that much like the radios they can be prone to lightning and could be a problem if left hooked up so I passed. Someone told me that he lost a couple of controllers that way.
We are currently in a very lightning prone area during the monsoons.

Yeah I too wanted to buy one but I'm not a waitful person and wanted it now. It would work here OK sense we never get thunderstorms here That StepperIR beam look like a real Gem but again money and time it in the way. Richard I hope you you antenna back fast and in perfect working condition. That Yo-Yo looks like the a great antenna to throw into the trailer and should work well with the tuner.
