[TenTec] Orion II 2.033 AM Transmit Output

["Grant Youngman" <nq5t@comcast.net>]

I rechecked the carrier level output on several bands this morning on AM.

It should automatically set to approximately 25 watts (or about 1/4 of the
power at full output).  This is what it is doing:

160M            30+ W (too high to achieve 100% modulation)
80M             10 W
40M             5 W
20M             2-3 W
15,10M  2 W

Some have reported output as high as 50 watts -- maybe that is a reference
to peak output with modulation?  The carrier output level on 160M is too
high to be able to achieve 100% modulation given the output capability of
the Orion II.
