[TenTec] Frequency output from Orion 2 via Cat Port

[Barry N1EU]

If you're not using the Steppir with computer control/logging
software, just use the Steppir controller in stand alone radio mode
and the controller itself will poll the CAT port.  Radios don't
typically broadcast their frequency changes - they generally need to
be polled.
