Bernard,
There is no setting you should have to activate if my memory serves me
correctly to get band info from the Orion. I do not have a SteppIR but do
use band info from the Orion to automatically switch antennas from band to
band.
Best of Luck,

Subject: [TenTec] Orion and SteppIR
After taking "care" of a few pine trees, I finally have my new 3 element
SteppIR antenna up and operational. It sure seems to work well. The
antenna patterns seem to be a little sharper than the TH-7 and A3WS that I
was using.
I also bought the Orion to SteppIR interface unit, but can't seem to get
the interface to operate properly. It seems like the two won't communicate
frequency information. I talked to Fluid Motion on Friday and they gave me
the pin out information to make sure that the interface cable was the
correct one. It checks out OK. I've been through the set up procedure
about six times, step by step. So, now, I am wondering if it is operator
error (of some type), a problem with the Orion, or a problem with the
SteppIR control box.
Anyone on the board have an Orion with the SteppIR interface who could
shed a little light on the situation. Is there a setting on the Orion that
I must activate?
