Thanks for the Orion-DXBase 2005 tip, Ron. After I checked the CTS box as you suggested the connection started working. I searched the Help file for "Orion" and "CTS" and didn't get any hits, so I'm posting the info here for other Orion users.
I like the new DXB 2005 features, but the program seems a little sluggish compared to DXB 2004. Anyone else notice this? 73, Bill NT1Y -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kamar Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 5:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dxbase] Anyone using DXBase 2005 with the Ten-Tec Orion? Bill, I am running the Orion with Dxbase 2005. Dxbase properly loads and log the mode and frequency from the Orion. In the radio setup under User Options make sure that you have done the following: the baud rate set to 57600, parity is None, Word Length is 8 bits, and Stop bits set to 1. Also, make sure the CTS box has a check mark in it, and that the DTR High box is unchecked. As you stated the Load Band/Mode from HF Transceiver must have a check mark in its box.

Hein Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 5:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dxbase] Anyone using DXBase 2005 with the Ten-Tec Orion? I have my Ten-Tec Orion connected to my computer via a serial port. DXBase 2005 will QSY the radio and set the mode when I click on the QSY column in the Internet Cluster window. However, when I'm tuning the bands and making QSOs DXbase does not "Load Band/Mode From HF Transceiver" (as I selected in User Options), instead just grabbing the frequency and mode from the previously logged QSO. "Connect HF Radio 1 Serial Interface" is selected, BTW. Anyone else using a Ten-Tec Orion with DXBase 2005? If so, are you experiencing this problem? 73, Bill NT1Y _______________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase _______________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase
