[TenTec] ORION and IC7800 - Kirby - GUI's

[NJ0IP]

I agree with Duane.  I already have an Orion front panel.  I run N4PY
control software with a smart-looking 15" [color] TFT sitting on top of the
Orion.  I have everything in lovely color and direct access to some features
which are otherwise only available through the software menu.  So why would
I want to replicate the Orion's front panel?

That's interesting.  Why would I want a GUI that looks just like the
Orion?  I can get that on the Orion only better since I wouldn't have to
mouse around it.. I would want a GUI that lets me be more efficient, or
makes operation easier or more intuitive. By the way, this is not a
complaint - I mostly like the Orion just fine, than you!
