Does the SteppIR controller have commands (via the Serial Port) for these functions? If so maybe Steve can add these function to DDUtil's rotor tap. I thought that generally the SteppIR was only in a passive listening mode. 73's nu6x Mark Sedona, AZ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

If you come thru the second port (the one usually used to gang controllers) you can fully control (180 degrees, bidirectional, etc.) but that means you are not using the radio monitoring mode but active control. There is a standalone utility at www.telepostinc.com that can control the steppir
