My N4PY Orion software is step 1.
The second thing you need is a one wire mod to bring the sub-receiver
antenna connection out to the spare jack.
The third thing you need is an SDR receiver that can be controlled via
HDSDR. The SDRplay SDR receiver for $150 is the easiest way to go.
That's what I am using with my Orion and it works great.
Once you have all the items, I can give you a step by step setup to do
all this.

I am slowly being pulled into the 21st century, one technology upgrade at a time. So
now it’s time to for me to try some new things.
1 I would like to add some type of pan adapter to my Orion 2. I guess I can
figure out on my own how to add a second monitor for that purpose, but I would
appreciate any help regarding a pan adapter addition for the Orion 2. In short,
what all do I need to make this work? I read somewhere that N4PY software is
needed. Beyond that, pse help me to understand what else is involved.
I did see on youtube a demonstration with another brand of radio which seemed
to incorporate cw skimmer with the pan adapter. Is this possible with the Orion
2?
2 I still use paper logs, and plan to continue doing so until I leave this world. But
I’ve been playing around with morse runner, and see the need for computer
logging when doing qso parties, and heaven forbid, if I ever actually decide to try to
do a cw contest. So any suggestions on what logging program would most likely be
compatible for state qso parties, the qcwa qso parties, the cwt tests, and contest
logging would be appreciated.
3 I suppose this also means that if I can figure out how to download and set up this
logging software, I’ll need to figure out how to use the keyboard to send my
call, 599, etc. Is this simple to set up once the logging software has been installed?
I’m covering several different topics here, so feel free to reply to me direct
