[TowerTalk] SteppIR Controller

[RLVZ at aol.com]

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.
