Hi Ken,
I think you could probably do that but what I did was wire another plug for
FSK, audio out from pin 3 and FSK out from pin 7. Saves disassembling and
modifying the Orion. Yes it struck me as stange that Ten-Tec furnished the
cable without a pin 7 connection. Pin 7 connects to key-out of my Rigblaster
plus and pin 3 goes to the sound card input of the computer. A serial cable
runs between the Rigblaster plus and the computer. The Orion is a good FSK rig
and I am now presently using it in that mode. Works real good with the 250 Hz
filter.

I would like to use the Auxiliary I/O plug and cable sent with the Orion II
without modification if possible. The I/O socket is 8-pin and the plug is
5-pin. Pin 5 of the socket is a "no connection (NC)," but pin 5 of the plug
does
have a wire connected to it (Red). FSK is available on pin 7 of the socket,
but there is no pin 7 of the plug (does this strike anybody else as strange?).
Can I simply put a jumper from pin 5 of the socket to pin 7 of the socket
(or alternatively rewire pin 7 to pin 5) so I have FSK on pin 5 of the supplied
plug and cable?
Thanks, Ken K5KC
