Hi Guys, I am looking for someone who has interface the 'Rascal' to the 565.

My friend is the one that has the 565 and wants to get on RTTY.

The Rascal Interface with it custom cable for the 565 seems to do just want he 
wants.
BUT He uses PIN3 of the Orion II 8 pin I/O connector for CW Keying.  The Rascal 
uses that pin for PTT.

It seems that the Orion would be smart enough for use PIN 3 for PTT when in RTTY 
and Pin 3 for CW keying when in CW without anything else?

Since I don't have the rig, maybe someone has an answer to this question.

Thanks  Joe K0BX
