If your logging or other rig control program will enable the 
Kenwood or Elecraft "auto information" mode when it exits 
(AI1;) the transceiver will send a IF data packet whenever 
the transceiver frequency changes.  This is all the SteppIR 
controller needs to follow the radio without the logging or 
control program. 

You can probably use a terminal program to enable AI if necessary.
