[TenTec] Frequency output from Orion 2 via Cat Port

Finally got around to hooking up my Orion 2 to my Steppir controller.  Works
great with N4PY software.  However, I can find no options in the Orion 2
menus to have the Orion output frequency/mode/etc to the CAT port whenever
frequency, mode or other status changes occur independent of any external
software program.  I know the OMNI VI+ had this menu option.

 

The N4PY software polls the Orion 2 at 2 second intervals whenever the
Steppir box is checked in the N4PY setup so the Steppir gets frequency info
via a 'Y' cable.  But without the N4PY software (or I suppose any other
logging or control software) but without it looks you are out of luck
attempting to control the Steppir.  Am I missing something in the Orion
setup?
