Has anybody out there used Writelog to control a SteppIR control box and a
radio on the same serial port?

After reading the SteppIR web site, the Writelog polling function should
allow this to work but I was looking for first hand experience.
Tom,

I have a SteppIR Big Vertical and I do use WriteLog.  It is the serial data 
from the radio that controls the SteppIR, not WL.  I have an Icom 756Pro2, and 
I simply have a Y-connector on the radios REMOTE jack.  One side of the Y goes 
to the SteppIR control box, and the other side of the Y goes to the 
computer's serial port.  When I change bands on the radio, the SteppIR also changes 
bands.  You don't even need the computer to be on.

Questions?  Just fire away.

73, Geo...
