Just got a new 223 reamer and decided to test it out on a barrel stub. The reamer appears to be cutting on every other flute.
Is there something wrong with my set up, or did I get a reamer that may some problems?

Very few reamers cut the same on all flutes. Since chamber reamers are fed very slowly (feed in IPR-inches per revolution) you will find this common on most reamers.
Many reamers cut only on 1 flute till that flute gets dull and wears away making room for the next one back.

Looking for an inexpensive alternative to the GreTan offering.
Depends on the barrel. On threaded muzzles I usually use a threaded adapter. On most other barrels I use a short piece of rubber hose and a hose clamp.
Thank you. Will try the hose option since I do the chamber first.
Nez, I have a new Gre Tan. I will box it up and give it to you. I owe you anyway.
