[Dx4win] DX4WIN, IC7800 & SteppIR Controller Issue

[m.weiss at yahoo.com]

Hello all,
 
I have a strange problem that is driving me nuts.
 
DX4WIN specifies baud rate of 9600 to talk to my IC7800.  When I set the
IC7800's CI-V baud rate to 9600, there is no communication between DX4WIN
and IC7800.  When I set the IC7800's CI-V baud rate to AUTO, DX4WIN and
IC7800 get along just fine.
 
But, when the IC7800's CI-V baud rate is set at 9600, the SteppIR SDA-100
control box will not autotrack the IC7800's band or frequency.  If I set the
7800's CI-V baud rate to AUTO, then the SteppIR SDA-100 control box tracks
properly.
 
Does anyone have any ideas?
