[TenTec] Orion II 15 m CW Transmit Power Fluctuation

[Kim Elmore <cw_de_n5op@sbcglobal.net>]

I have noticed a subtle characteristic with my OII on 15 m CW 
transmit: the power output varies in a random fashion key down CW. 
This happens whether I use a dummy load, tuner, or antenna. I noticed 
this with the V2.041XL firmware, and so went to the 2.039d firmware. 
Using V2.041XL on 15 m, with the power output is set to 100 the ALC 
light didn't illuminate, but did using V2.039d. I still, however, see 
the power output fluctuation with either firmware version. Using 
V2.041XL, I see this a bit on 12 m, too. I only see it on 15 m using V2.039d.
Has anyone else noticed this?
