    I would connect the SteppIR to the passive controller drop down box in DDUtil. Both antennas will track the TX slice.

    Use 2 different physical ports. One set as Steppir port in DDUTIL the second set as the passive listener port in DDUTIL. That way u will get band data simultaneously to both devices. Both ports are detailed on the DDUTIL web site.

    SteppIR has a system you can use to **** them together, having the 2nd controller talk to the first and follow it. That would allow you to do it with one COM port on your PC.

    It's covered (somewhat vaguely) in the SDA100 manual.
