I'm wondering if SteppIR resolved the Controller conflict it had with some
radios: a couple years ago My SteppIR controller worked poorly with a
FT-1000-MkV. The problem was that the Controller would often switch bands
"automatically" from the band the xceiver was on to another band of it's
choice. The
antenna also developed a stepper motor problem so I switched antennas and
haven't gone back to the SteppIR yet. I'll probably give the SteppIR another
whirl if the controller problem has been resolved. (at the time, SteppIR told
me the problem was common with 1000-MP's and there was no immediate fix)

But there's more to it. SteppIRs can be automatically tuned to the frequency
of an attached transceiver, and I find this capability very useful. But in
my SO2R contest station I have two radios that use different communications
protocols: an Orion and an FT-1000D. Switching a given controller between
the two radios isn't simple.
