[TenTec] 253 and Orion bandswitching

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

Thanks  Ed,

The 311 used for the Orion apparently wouldn't work for the Omni VII which 
provides band information via frequency from its serial port. There are 
other commercial solutions but I believe using DXLab Suite Commander, a 
device table for the computer parallel port, a 6' M/F DB-25 cable, and a 
ULN2803 may be the most economical solution in my case and will work for 
those with Orions (and 253s) running DXLab Suite.

73,

Gary - AB9M
