John,

What I'm trying to do is diagnose what is going on.  If you turn on the 
Orion keying loop and do not connect anything between TXEN and TXOUT, 
transmit will be blocked.  If you then jumper TXEN and TXOUT together 
without the amp connected, the Orion should work alone and normally.  So, 
does this work this way?  If this does, then the problem is in the amp.  If 
it doesn't, then the problem is in the Orion.
