The Orion has protective circuitry to limit the current in the finals to a
safe value. There is no point where SWR "fold back" occurs.  It just won't
let the current in the finals get too high.  This is an excellent protection
method.


Sure is -- so THAT's what the "22 amps in-range, not to exceed 25 amps otherwise" means -- the finals can't soar by more than 3 amps. Thanks for clearing that up, Carl!
