Lawrence:
I have the SteppIR and the Orion. I couldn't get the two to
communicate between them at first. It was the cable that SteppIR sent. If
they sent you the cable labeled K-2, it is the WRONG one.
If you want the correct pin outs, let me know and I'll find my
documentation and send them to you.
My Orion, Alpha 87A and SteppIR are a "great" combination for all
bands 20 - 10 M.
73,
Bernard, WA4OEJ
