[TenTec] Orion 565 and RemoteRig

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Best I can tell, remoterig only remotes a few radios without a control 
computer. Those rigs use a serial interface to a removable front panel 
and allow for time delays between commands and responses or rig inquires 
about control positions. Everything else it controls through the CAT 
interface which requires a computer running software at the operating 
position. A couple Tentecs have ethernet interface that controls well, 
but also requires a computer at the control position.

As far as I can tell the only way to avoid relying on the shack computer 
for remote control is to build a dedicated box with custom programming.
