[Xlog-discussion] Keyer and Orion

[John B. Egger]

Does anyone on the list use the Xlog keyer with the Orion? If so, I 
could use some advice!

Although the Orion manual refers to the Aux/IO jack as "accepting CW 
from an external keyer or computer generated CW (like the CW keying 
output from popular contest logging software)" using the computer sound 
card, it looks as if Xlog's keyer works through the parallel or serial 
ports, not the sound card.

The Orion Programmer's Manual shows how its serial port is wired, and 
cwdaemon provides a schematic for the computer's serial port (see 
below), but I'm stuck here. The Orion's serial port shows this:  1, 
N.C.; 2, Serial Data Out; 3, Serial Data In; 4, N.C.; 5, GND; 6, N.C.; 
7, RTS (in); 8, CTS (out); 9, N.C.

Which of these corresponds to "CW out to TRX" and to "PTT out toTRX" on 
the cwdaemon schematic? And will wiring the serial connection using this 
circuit prevent hamlib from reading transceiver data?
