[Dx4win] Sending DX4WIN frequency information to Green Heron Everyware

I'm beginning to set up some Green Heron wireless control switching, and 
now I need to convey frequency information between DX4WIN and the Green 
Heron environment using the GHE Everyware UDP communication. It appears 
that PstRotatorAz will do the job, but I'm unsure of the exact setup 
required.

If there's an easy way to get just frequency information from DX4WIN I 
would be really interested in hearing what it is.I **think** the SteppIR 
control function in DX4WIN needs to be activated using the COM port to 
COM port connection described in the PstRotatorAz documentation to pass 
frequency information.I have a LOT of COM ports active in my system, 
many of them virtual from LP-Bridge and the microHAM environment. I also 
have many physical COM ports that are used to maintain my two Elecraft 
stations. Is there a PstRotatorAz program limit to a specific range of 
COM port numbers, or can it handle COM ports of arbitrary number, 
especially greater than 20 or so?Once the frequency information is 
available, does it send both VFO A and VFO B frequency information in 
the UDP broadcasts?

At this time, I don't need to use PstRotatorAz to actually do SteppIR 
control, although that will eventually be required as station setup 
advances. If the radio is in Split mode does DX4WIN send the Transmit 
frequency to the SteppIR controller port?

Sorry to be cross-posting and asking so many questions, but I'm really 
trying to figure out how to couple DX4WIN to the GHE system as 
efficiently as possible.
