[TenTec] PSK 31 with the Orion II

[W3ETC]

Thanks to all that responded with information on how to set up the Orion for
PSK especially N6IE.  Turns out the Rascal appears to be defective as while
the computer was putting out sufficient gain it wasn't making to the Orion.
To get it going I used the breakout cable packed with the Orion without an
interface box, thus no direct keying and key the Orion via Vox.  It works
fine although I plan to get another interface box in the future as it
provides some isolation and a more positive way to key the radio.

Hello  all:

I am trying to get my Orion II running 2.039D to run PSK 31 using  Digipan
and WinPsk.  I seem to be having a bit of difficulty with the  Orion
settings.  I am using a Buxcom Rascal box with a straight thru  Din cable
and
I can receive and decode fine on the laptop.  I can  transmit on the Orion,
and can hear it on an external receiver transmitting  PSK 31 but there does
not appear to be much if any drive to the  transmitter.  The transmit light
on the Orion does not light and the  meter does not move.   My external
tuner
(LDG Z 11 Pro) also does  not light either as it does in SSB mode.

I have the Orion using the aux  mode as the input with the gain up to 60.
The CW selection is set to MOX  and the TX EQ is 0.00 db.

Any suggestions as to drive settings on the  Orion II would be most
appreciated ?
