[TenTec] Orion II CAT Problem

[Ramey, Paul - IS]

Quote: I was going over this with another ham buddy who also has an O II,
and he told me that he had developed the same problem. He suggest that I
let HRD time out and try to connect using the Jupiter definition. That
didn't work, but defining the port as an Eagle did. However, this whole
thing was a bit tenuous.

I have a Orion I.   I could not get it to talk to my computer running HRD ver5.  I thought the com port was bad on the radio and had it tested .  Worked fine when using Logger 32!

I then test my com1 port on my computer. It word fine with my TS-2000 and HRD.
I also told the HRD to try the Eagle and it started working.  I deleted the Eagle and used the Orion and I was able to get HRD working correctly.  Now it works every time as it should.
I am not sure why the Eagle ver. for HRD started it working correctly.  It is almost like a software switch was changed or turned on in the radio.
