Hi Joe, The SteppIR control box needs a hard serial connection from the transceiver for control. I connected the SteppIR to a hard serial port in the computer and then configured the CAT in the SDR to look like a Kenwood at 9600 baud using the COM port that I had the SteppIR control box connected to. I then set up the SteppIR control box to interface to a Kenwood at 9600 baud. That was all there was to it. The SteppIR control box sends an IF command once a second and the SDR CAT responds with frequency information (among other things) and the SteppIR adjusts the elements accordingly. The SteppIR control box is set to the General Coverage mode. This results in a continuous resonate Yagi for all frequencies between 13.5 MHz and 50 MHz. It is really fun to listen to foreign broadcast with this capability.
I hope this helps. 73 Tom W0IVJ _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
