Dumb suggestion Barry. As I do not have unlimited financial resources, it
seemed pretty stupid for me to have to spend another five thousand bucks,
when I had just spent thirty-eight hundred bucks for the Titan 3, just to
get a firmware limited transceiver to work. I think that is a rather
clueless method of solving problems.

Dumb question Tommy, but why didn't you give up on the amp instead of
giving up on the radio? Orion works fb now with Alpha & Acom amps.
You could have relegated the TT amp to backup role until the keying
problem was sorted out. I don't get it, considering you readily admit
to the superior performance of the Orion.
