Hay..glad to see your awake!
Good suggestion and will give that a try. I found an electronics shop in
south Georgia (gasp!!) that has about four different sizes of split ferrites
and have bought a hand full and put on every connection to the Orion,
including the RF coax cable. Didn't help anything, but it won't hurt either.
Think I will download v1.371 again and install it in the Orion and then
remove the serial cable and see what happens. Tks for the suggestion.
