Tim, my Orion (the so-called "I") will do a bit under 4 watts with the
power set to 1, so that's QRP by my calculations. But if yours is over
5 watts, wouldn't the old "9 volt battery across the mic terminals" plus
the power control allow you to set it where you want? I don't know,
I've not tried it, but it was a simple trick tried successfully many
years ago in the old tube transceiver days. Anyone have an idea of how
that does?
