That's not normal. I would do a full reset as follows. 1) Power off Orion. 2) Power On holding the VFO B LCK button. 3) Continue holding LCK button until the radio says "Battery Failure". 4) Power of
Art, I believe you are correct. I would set the ALC pot for 100 watts and not 110. The power indicator is supposed to read watts and not percentage. If you exceed 100 watts, you signal will start to
The Omni VI does fold back power based on final current. If the current goes too high, the drive to the finals is reduced. It does not fold back based on SWR. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisbu

Rick, I think this is normal. The mixing scheme works such that LSB comes out as normal on 80 meters. I seem to recall that my Omni A worked the same way. I think they use the same crystal for 20 and

The clip point on my Flex 6500 is S9+80 DB. That's +7 dbm. If it were to happen that I had signal overload, I would put the 20 db attenuator on. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 w

And further, the clip point is simply the point where a signal is too large for the A/D converter. So if you have 65536 values in 16 bits, you divide the real dynamic range of the A/D by 65536 and us
