[TenTec] More operating info Orion

[Jim Dunbar]

Hi Tom,

Are there are set of pre-made cables for interconnecting the Orion to the
computer? Such as with an isolation transformer in between? And what are the
total amount of cables from the computer to the Orion and what inputs and
outputs are used to be able to use multiple types of digital modes to
include RTTY?

Do you know if the Orion will be supported by the Rig Blaster?

Thanks,

Jim
