[Orion] Controls: (was Orion VOX & PTT problems)

[Gary Tuck]

Sure Ham Radio deluxe (HRD) is free CAT control software for many rigs. 
  Works fb on Orion.  All it takes is a serial cable.  I got an 
inexpensive laptop and connected to Orion via the serial port using the 
cable which came with the rig.  I've also tried the N4PY control 
program which has much greater capability but works best if you control 
your rig thru the software rather than from the rig itself.  I use HRD 
to complement the rig.  For example, I adjust the Threshold, RF, power 
output etc, It also has integrated DX spotting so you can click on a 
spot and the rig tunes there automatically.
