Re: [TenTec] Orion I CRT

[Chas Nagel <cnagel@sbcglobal.net>]

I had a similar problem when I had my Heath Cantenna (dummy load) connected to 
antenna #2. The Cantenna was located under the desk requiring about 10 feet of 
RG-58/U coax. Obviously I relocated the Cantenna and shortened the lead 
considerably. Check to see that you are not causing other wires in the 
vincinity to radiate back into the Orion. I know you said your feedline is 1:1 
but I still believe your problem may caused by some re-radiating external 
source in close proximity if not the feedline itself. Just because the Orion 
may see 1:1 does not mean 2 or 3 feed away the swr continues to be 1:1.

  I have an Orion I that I recently purchased used. I have noticed that the
CRT display flashes on and off with each dot and dash that I send. If I
reduce the power output to 50 watts or less the problem goes away. The SWR
is 1:1 and the Orion is properly grounded.

Is this normal?
