When I got home I set the baud rate in MixW to 1200 as N4PY suggested and it
worked!  I have the RTS and DTR to "always on" you may try that and see if
the changes go both ways.

Hi Duffy,
 
Well, I just set up Mix to control my Orion as you suggested (used 57k6 
bps, RTS always on, DTR PTT+CW but will also try PTT via CAT) and I can 
command the Orion! It appears to be one way, i.e. MixW32 does not catch 
when I change the frequency with the main dial or aux dial so perhaps Mix 
is not polling the Orion. But the wheel mouse does work so I will just 
leave the dials alone.
 
Now to test being able to transmitt! After rewriting my macros to remove 
the FT-1000MP Mk V commands and see if Orion commands work!!!
 
Thanks for the info.
 
73, Tom N4ZPT
