both times I tripped it buy running it into a high swr ( wrong antenna for
the band selected) . usually I run it into the steppir or the gap voyager
and don't think about it, (automatic computer control) but I hit the wrong
antenna switch. the breaker popped , and the fuse did not.

Tom-
I have an Orion and am using Airpax. What caused your breaker to trip? So
far I haven' tripped mine, but I want to stay away from shipping the Orion
back.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Using Airpax breaker
I run an airpax on the cable to my Orion and it is fed from a power strip
.the power strip has power poles on it and each one is fused separately.
I
have had my airpax blow twice now but have never replaced the fuse , the
fuse
is 25 amps and the airpax is 18/ 26 volt trip. so my guess is the airpax is
more sensitive. I am using it on an Orion as I run it off a 50 amp astron
and
not a Ten Tec power supply. I guess with $4000 worth of radio on the line
belt and suspenders is ok, both fuse and breaker. seems like the score is
2-0
in favor of the airpax at the moment.

Hi Art,
I agree with you Art. It is true this should not become a 'fuss'
