[TenTec] Hercules II & Orion

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

The Orion is different than the Omni VI+. On the Omni, a direct wire worked. However, on my Orion I use a TenTec model 311 band data converter between the rig and the amp. You cannot connect them directly unless you want the Orion to go to the hospital in Sevierville. 

The bad news is that the Model 311 has been discontinued and that they are almost impossible to find. You must either build, or find an alternate interface to continue the remote operation

I have a Hercules II that is currently wired for remote use with my Omni 
VI+. 
Can the Hercules be used in remote mode with a Orion by changing the 
plug to match the Orion's band data 15-pin plug or is the Orion 
different than the Omni as the the band data it output? 
I would like to use the Hercules on the second VFO/sub RX for S&Ping.   
If it works Then I can keep my main amp tuned to my run freq. 

Thanks 

Paul, WG0G
