Hi Ken,
   
  I think you could probably do that but what I did was wire another plug for 
FSK, audio out from pin 3 and FSK out from pin 7. Saves disassembling and 
modifying the Orion. Yes it struck me as stange that Ten-Tec furnished the 
cable without a pin 7 connection.  Pin 7 connects to key-out of my Rigblaster 
plus and pin 3 goes to the sound card input of the computer. A serial cable 
runs between the Rigblaster plus and the computer. The Orion is a good FSK rig 
and I am now presently using it in that mode. Works real good with the 250 Hz 
filter.

  I would like to use the Auxiliary I/O plug and cable sent with the Orion II 
without modification if possible. The I/O socket is 8-pin and the plug is 
5-pin. Pin 5 of the socket is a "no connection (NC)," but pin 5 of the plug 
does 
have a wire connected to it (Red). FSK is available on pin 7 of the socket, 
but there is no pin 7 of the plug (does this strike anybody else as strange?). 
Can I simply put a jumper from pin 5 of the socket to pin 7 of the socket 
(or alternatively rewire pin 7 to pin 5) so I have FSK on pin 5 of the supplied 
plug and cable?

Thanks, Ken K5KC
