My O2 that is a first production run running the latest software version
2.037j. The power output on 75 meters reads at 100 watts on my 0rion 2 and
104 watts on my Alpha power meter in to a Palstar 2kw dummy load.The power
varies from band to band from 95 watts on 10 meters to 108 watts on 160 meters
As I run low drive 40 watts or so to drive my amp I never see the Orion2's
meter hit the peg. In my test of the transceivers I have owned .The power
always very band to band and the internal meters are not nearly as accurate
as a stand-a-lone watt meter. As for pegging the O2 meter at full output the
only adjustment I know is to back your output power down a few watts .

Subject: [TenTec] Power adjustment
I have owned my Orion 2 for several months and really enjoy it. I have
a minor complaint. The power output according to the digital meter is
100 and the same on the analog dial, however, into a dummy load it reads
90 watts on two different watt meters(Drake and Daiwa). Can someone
tell me it there is an adjustment which I can make or is it software
driven. The other minor complaint is that the analog meter smashes up
against the pin running the output to full power and doesn't track the
output power of the digital watt meter. I think a rather poor design.
Thanks,
Vin
