I agree with Martin - this would be an interesting project that I'd
love to implement here and slave a second Orion's vfo off a master
Orion. The little box could work like Carl described the SteppIR
interface - either passively listening to the master rig interface if
it IS hooked up to a computer, or else actively polling the master rig
if it's not.
FWIW, Ham Radio Deluxe shareware allows for slaving the frequency of
multiple rigs from a master rig and it works quite well, but this
obviously won't allow running other logging/contesting software at the
same time nor solve the problem of doing it without a computer.
