I could be wrong, but I think in the second sentence in the second paragraph
under *SDA 100 Kenwood Interface*, the word "not" should be added between does
and match.

The simple answer is do not connect that way. The direct SteppIR interface
with a Kenwood/Elecraft rig is very poorly implemented and may cause the
SteppIR to tune at beginning and end of transmission.
Far better to use a separate application or hardware interface that sends the
SteppIR controller only the TX frequency. I have been using PstRotatorAz for
many years. Others have used DXLab Commander secondary port.
My experience is with a 2 element SteppIR but the tune on TX problem will be
just the same with a BigIR. I wrote a paper on this issue about 10 years ago
but, to the best of my knowledge, SteppIR did not fix it in any later
controller versions or models.
