Hi Greg.

Hamlib does not support the SteppIR directly.  As you note, it monitors
the serial line and apparently acts on commands it recognizes.  I don't
know what version of Hamlib was included in WSJT-X 2.6.1 and what
changes have occurred since then without knowing the exact Hamlib
versions.

It seems strange to me that it fails, but I don't have Icom or SteppIR
so I cannot test.  Hopefully someone can help.

73, Nate
