Give me a day to complete the install doc and take some pictures of the
minor mod to the orion 2. I installed a short piece of coax from the ant
input from the Orion subreceiver antenna input board to the 'spare' RCA jack
on the back of the Orion. You can then run a piece of coax from this RCA
jack to the Flex 1500, providing a switched input to the 1500. When the
Orion is keyed, the Orion switches the input to the subreceiver to ground.
Its either do it this way or provide an external way to switch the antenna
to the 1500 to ground when you key the Orion. Easier to explain with
pictures.

Hi, Folks
Carl's (N4PY) controller software with its ability to marry
up Flex Radios with the Orion 2 to allow the use of the Flex as a 2nd
receiver, along with its great panadapter, spurred me into developing a
small utility that does just that - without all the control capability of
N4PY software. Just allows you to sync the Orion 2 with a Flex Radio. It's
written in C++, using the C++Dev development package. Since it uses CAT
control, should be easily adapted to other radios besides the Orion 2.
C++Dev is open source, including the gcc compiler and wxWidgets. It's
pretty slick and easier to use that Visual C++ Express. If anyone would
like to play around with it (executable or source) drop me an e-mail.
