I'm reading through the manual and can't find a specification or other description of how the protective circuitry works in the event of excessive SWR. The reason this is important is that my QSK-modified SB-220 has fairly high input SWR on one band (40), and I have not been successful in fixing this. It otherwise works fine, and my TS-930 doesn't care, while my Mark 5 folds back its output power too much to get full output from the amp on that band without using the antenna tuner.

At what SWR does the Orion start to reduce its power output?
