[TenTec] [TentecOrionSeries] Orion II and KPA500

[James Owen]

DX engineering sells  a decoder but not sure it will do what you want. I have an Orion II that I use with a SPE Expert 1.3k-FA and it takes the band info from the serial port. Also the SPE has a frequency counter and will switch bands when it see a different frequency from what band is set.  My biggest problem, if it is, I have the serial port driving both the amplifier and the computer input to the logging program.  If the logging program is not active the serial port will not switch the linear and have to let it switch by measuring the frequency.

 | Gooday all
I use my Orion II with my KPA500 and usually try to manually switch bands rather than rely on the RF sensing.
I would really like to use the band information output from the Orion II to automatically switch bands on the KPA500.
Does anybody know of a band decoder which is compatible with both pieces of equipment or alternatively has anyone designed something home brew to achieve the purpose.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
