[N5GE] That was probably me.
If you download the Programmer's Guide from the Ten-Tec web site you can read
about how it is done, but you will need to know how to program in some language
like C#, C++ or Visual Basic. I'm pretty sure you could also do in Pascal. In a
nut shell all you have to do (in laymen's language) send an 'alert' code to the
serial port that say's "the next character I send you should be keyed at the
keyer" and then send the character to the serial port and the Orion I or II will
route that character to the keyer, which will key that character via the keyer
to the TX just as if you had sent it from the paddles.
Of course integrating that into your logging program is another thing
altogether.
