2. [TenTec] Orion II & P3? (score: 1): Author: Floyd Sense <floyd@k8ac.net>; Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 14:29:59 -0400; Any Orion II owner using it with an Elecraft P3? I believe the P3 can be setup to handle the 9 MHz IF of the Orion. That would leave the frequency control. I don't know how the P3 to K3 interface fun; /archives//html/TenTec/2011-05/msg00077.html (6,883 bytes)

That's the way I used Commander with the SDR-IQ and Mark V and the control was flawless. However, that's NOT the way things work with the Orion and Commander.
