Thanks to both of you. It should have been straightforward but for some reason
I wasn't having any luck. This helps a lot.

The information in the manual for adjusting the alc level with the led is
incorrect also.
You will have no problem with the speech processor either if you adjust
everything as per the article.
Amateurs complained about the average power output of the Orions for years
until they started to set up their radios as described.
Good luck I'm sure you will have no issues.
