As has been suggested, the power plug and fuse may be an issue. You and your

Subject: [TenTec] Orion I, reduced output power ???

A friend of mine in DL has trouble with his Orion I.
The output power is now at about 85 watts.
This is independent of band.
Small changes in the 13v supply has no influence on the power.
He does not know if this happened all at once or just started to decay over
time.
I have advised him to try a second watt meter, dummy load, change coax,
etc., just to be sure it is the radio and not something else.
Grateful for any ideas or tips where we could look.
Tnx
