[TenTec] Orion to IC-2KL & AT-500 Interface

[Adam Farson]

Hi Bill,

The microHam decoder may work in this application. http://www.microham.com

There is a more basic problem, though; the Orion lacks an external ALC
input. Operation of the IC-2KL without an ALC loop which controls the drive
level will risk destruction of the amplifier's RF power devices. The ALC
line is the 2KL's first line of defence.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Before I go off and reinvent the wheel, I thought I would check to see if
any Orion users have designed/built an interface between the Orion band
switching output and the automatic band switching circuit in the Icom IC-2KL
amplifier and the AT-500 antenna tuner. Thanks, Bill, W5SG
