[TenTec] band stacking

[Carl Moreschi]

Steve,

My software runs in the PC and talks to the Orion just like the pegasus
program does.  And my program has a sweep that runs on the sub-receiver.  It
is not as fast as the Orion sweep but it is nice to be able to click on a
signal with the mouse and instantly go there.
