[Orion] RIT/XIT in Orion

[Jim McDonald]

Jay,

Not in the Orion firmware but it can be done if you use N4PY's control 
program.  The choices that N4PY give you with the pod will amaze you.  He 
handles the RIT/XIT the "conventional" way too.  You might want to look at 
the documentation for his program, which is on a link at 
http://www.ralabs.com/n4py/.  His program overcomes many of the 
idiosyncrasies of the Orion firmware.

Grant or anyone.
Related to the RIT control, and the POD tuning otption.  Is there a way
to assign RIT to one of the PODs function keys?  I couldn't figure it
out. But seems like this would be a standard option.   Can anyone lead
how to do it.
Thanks
Jay
