[Dxbase] SteppIR Problem with Orion

Mon Apr 24 17:55:51 EDT 2006

Thanks to all the suggestions. Jim - that's it. I am using DXBase 2006 also
and I just tried the second click which did switch the SteppIR Controller. I
failed to mention DXBase before. Boy this is not good is it? The two just do
not play well together. I could not get it to track the Orion II at all
before, but the second click did work for me most of the time. Thanks very
much for your insights.
Jim, W3BG

Now the only program that I have trouble with is DXBase 2006 when clicking a
dx station on the cluster DXBase band switches the radio but not the Steppir
Control until you click it a 2nd time. It's always one behind switching the
steppir..switches the rig to the proper frequency every time.

You have to change bands with a radio control program verses the front panel
on the Orion, assuming you have the Y cable configured correctly. Programs
such as N4PY, Commander, and Ham Radio Deluxe etc. work fine. Now the only
program that I have trouble with is DXBase 2006 when clicking a dx station
on the cluster DXBase band switches the radio but not the Steppir Control
until you click it a 2nd time. It's always one behind switching the
steppir..switches the rig to the proper frequency every time.

This past weekend I installed my new BiggIR Vertical, but for the life of me
I can not get the controller to track my Orion II. Using the WYE cable, with
ORION and 57800 baud selected in the transceiver set-up menu and in general
freq mode - nothing. Has anyone had success getting the SteppIR Controller
to track the Orion II or am I just missing something very obvious - which is
probably the case? Thank you.
