[TenTec] Virtual Serial Port recommendation

[K7TXO Radio]

Having excellent results with an SDR receiver driven from 9 Mhz IF tap in 
565 Orion.  Question; I would like to setup a Virtual Serial Port for two or 
more programs to work with Comm ports at the same time.  A few 
recommendations for virtual port software?  A clean (no advertisements or 
minimal "fluff") would be nice but if there is one for purchase that is 
highly recommended, that would be fine.

The scope in the Orion is extremely useful to me.  I hope that the Omni VII 
someday has an active scope like it.  When I have time or the desire to 
analyze received or my own transmitted signals, the SDR provides terrific 
detail.  Having the second receiver in the Orion might let me maintain 
reception of a QSO while I can hunt for other openings to QSY too should the 
need arise, with a better view through the SDR.  There are other advantages, 
pros and cons but speed in operation for me is still handled by controls on 
the Orion itself.

Anyway, looking for just a few responses for recommendation of Virtual 
Serial Port software that is truly compliant with Windows 7 to 
simultaneously use Omni-Rig CAT control software for the SDR and Ham Radio 
Deluxe, and other programs at the same time.
