I run both the Omni VII and the Eagle using HRD / DM780. For the Omni VII I
am using a true RS-232 communication port and not a USB to Serial converter.
The Eagle is connected via the USB port.
I have noticed from time to time the Omni VII will not connect.
Specifically the list will have a red X by the Frequency =0 . If you recall
there is an Orion Demo configuration in HRD. When I find the Omni VII will
not connect to the HRD program I just click on the Demo-O-Matic that selects
the Orion and let it run Then Click on Connect and select the Omni VII.
For me, it has worked every time. I've not been able to determine any
particular sequence of events prior which changes or could cause a problem.
I have three different radios in my PRESET list, along with the Demo-O-Matic
for the Orion in the HRD application. When one of them won't connect,
running the Demo-O-Matic clears what ever and then selecting the desired
radio has always worked.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II CAT Problem
Quote: I was going over this with another ham buddy who also has an O II,
and he told me that he had developed the same problem. He suggest that I
let HRD time out and try to connect using the Jupiter definition. That
didn't work, but defining the port as an Eagle did. However, this whole
thing was a bit tenuous.
I have a Orion I. I could not get it to talk to my computer running HRD
ver5. I thought the com port was bad on the radio and had it tested .
Worked fine when using Logger 32!
I then test my com1 port on my computer. It word fine with my TS-2000 and
HRD.
I also told the HRD to try the Eagle and it started working. I deleted
the Eagle and used the Orion and I was able to get HRD working correctly.
Now it works every time as it should.
I am not sure why the Eagle ver. for HRD started it working correctly. It
is almost like a software switch was changed or turned on in the radio.
