I put the Clifton Labs board in my Orion with the LP-Pan.

Along with the N4PY and LP-Bridge (free) software, this works sweet.
With my 22" monitor, I rarely look at the rig.
I use PowerSDR-IQ (free) software and it is beautiful.
This took all of about 30 minutes to install.
  
It's pretty much like a Flex rig with knobs.

You can add N8LP's LP-Pan to the Orion or Orion II.  You need to make a mod 
to the Orion that is written up on VE7TK's website and then use my N4PY 
software to integrate everything.  But this works extremely well and gives 
you a very impressive real time sweep and allows direct mouse clicking on 
the signals to hear them.
