[TenTec] Help with Ham Radio Deluxe and Orion

[John T. Fleming]

I think the confusion here is the 712 is strictly a USB sound card connector
and has circuitry to create a PTT signal for the AXC PTT connection based on
sound being created in the USB adapter.

HRD needs the full serial connection to the back of the Orion because
digital information is sent both directions based on the program polling the
radio or sending data to the radio to do something in the computers in the
radio.

73,
John

one can use a serial to USB adapter just fine for the Orion. no serial
port needed in my experience to read the rig or key the rig. i use a
serial to USB cable for either or both opertions. software is LOGic8 and
MixW2.
