Hello John,
You can use any standard serial cable with the Orion. As far as
the USB -> RS232 converters, they will work fine with normal rig usage,
from what I've seen (and I'm using a microHam DigiKeyer on the USB port
to the Orion successfully), however in some situations they will not work
for updating the microcode. In my setup, for whatever reason, I need to
use the RS232 cable for updates, but all else works fine via the
DigiKeyer on the USB port.
73, Duane
