[TenTec] Who is doing true FSK with the ORION?

[Rick W]

 Good point Jerry.  I'd completely forgotten about that.  I too built my own but I just HATE those 7-pin DIN plugs!

It is truly unfortunate T-T didn't include ALL the pins available on the AUX I/O connector into their AUX cable - sigh!  Or why they gave us a pin that is labeled "Future Assignment" on the AUX cable instead of FSK is open to discussion but it's done and we live with it!

The biggest issue is that there isn't an FSK specific connector on the back of 
the Orion. The FSK control line is a part of the Accessory jack. The breakout 
cable that TT sells did not provide access to that line. I built my own 
breakout box for about $20 that has all of the signals from that Accessory jack.
