[TenTec] ORION and MixW software slow operation problem?

[Paul W. Gallier]

Dave:

I am using MixW 2.14 and the RigExpert with my Orion and have no problems.  Response to change frequency is almost instantaneous. 

It sounds like your connections to the Orion are giving the Orion some false signals or noise (or ac or rf?).   I would also re-check for the right pins to the serial port and Aux I/O jack of Orion.   You can get the MixW 2.14 version on the web now too; you might try that.

An interesting fact with MixW.  For setting up FSK as the way to do RTTY, you must set FSK Tx Data to "Mark high"  in the "Other" menu.  Mixw has the reverse from normal RTTY format for some reason.   

Good luck,

Paul, WQ1C
