[Orion] RIT/XIT in Orion

[Jay Terleski]

Thanks, Jim.
I own the N4PY software for the rig, and am not a power user yet.  But 
will have a look.
But I am not sure this solves my situation, think about contesting and 
running a logging program like TR or NA, etc...DOS applications.
I want to be running guys on my frequency and adjusting the RIT to copy 
guys calling.  I can not be running N4PY at the same time.

I wonder if TEN TEC might add it in a future release.
