Hi Fred
A very versatile unit but at $159 it would be an expensive solution for
someone just wanting to interface an Orion to a Yaesu amp.
For a few cents, a 74LS147 or similar 10 to 4 line encoder will convert the
Orion band data output to BCD, providing Yaesu compatibility.
Soldering iron competence is required however ;-)

Hello All
Elecraft make a device which will interface between most of the common
rigs
(Y, I, K, E)
Its called the KRC-2, from the web site www.elecraft.com "Our products"
The Elecraft KRC2 Band Decoder is a universal, programmable station
control
unit that can switch any combination of antennas, filters, amplifiers, or
other equipment. It supports analog, digital, and RS232 control inputs, so
it's compatible with transceivers from Icom (voltage level), Yaesu (BCD
and
voltage level), and Kenwood (serial or BCD via logging program), as well
as
Elecraft's own K2 and K2/100.
I am pretty sure it will interface the Orion to a Yaesu BCD command
Elecraft publish all the manuals on the web so you can study them
Its quite a useful box that Elecraft seem to keep quiet about
