Joe, the Orions come with a cable that connects the Orion to any computer that has serial ports or one can use a serial to USB cable. one of the lines is sound in and the other is sound out which connect to the input and output of the audio card. the Orion manual has a diagram showing the cable and its use.

page 28 of the manual shows the pin-out of the cable hooked to the AUX I/O of the Orion. Pin 3 is PTT, Pin 4 is FSK, pin 6 is RIGHT AUX out (sound) Pin 4 is LEFT AUX out, Pin 2 is ground. Page 28 explains the pin-out and continues on Page 29 with FSK application.

That is very good Jack, the problem is that I am not the owner of the Orion but
my friend W0TT is.  I am trying to get him on RTTY.
Maybe you could send me a note off line on what cables you are talking about?
We do want to be able to use FSK and NOT AFSK.  And do CW without changing
cables.

One does not need a Rascal for RTTY with the Orion. one can use the cables that came with Orion for RTTY direct to the computer. I have done exactly that for all the years I have had my Orions 565, mostly CW but MixW3 will do all modes
just about with the above cable connections to computer.
