Good Evening folks,

I am in need of one of the following:

I need a cable for interfacing a 253 tuner to an Omni VI.  That would be a 236 
cable

or

I am in need of an interface system for the 253 tuner and an Orion.  I assume 
this to be a model 311 interface.

If you have either excess to  your needs, please please drop me a note.

Thanks for the bandwidth,

Dennis,
If you want to operate using your Orion and wish to use your 253 on 60 Meters, you need a cable different from the 236. It does not have the wire required to energize the memory that covers 60 Meters. I Had Riley's Accessories (http://rileysaccessories.tripod.com/) modify their standard 236 with the extra wire required to implement 60 meters. Tell him you want one like he built for me.

I obtained my 311 from Ten Tec direct. They still had them several years ago when I got mine. Just ask sales and get the Orion-311 cable as well. Then the modified 236 connects from it
to the 253.
