Let me hazard a guess, as I had the same thing here.
Do you have ANYTHING between the radio and the power supply? I was running
mine to a "power strip" that I use for other 13vdc things in the shack.
You MUST connect the Orion directly to the ps.
Second, I suggest a 35 amp supply, so there is plenty of headroom for the
radio to draw on.
With good ps, that problem should go away. If not, call TT.
