- Not Normal, and it's a symptom of a power supply problem. Had the same problem with mine. The problem was the power supply; that is, did not have the capacity to handle the Orion in the CW mode. The

- Mined did that a little bit on Field Day last year. Wimpy power source proved to be the problem. Also would flicker the led's a bit. Orion wants a LOT of energy, and a 13V supply at the terminals of

- Let me hazard a guess, as I had the same thing here. Do you have ANYTHING between the radio and the power supply? I was running mine to a "power strip" that I use for other 13vdc things in the shack.

- I had thought intuitively that the wire supplied by TT and the connector on the radio was "wimpy." The wire on my FT-100d is a lot heavier and the connector a lot more substantial. I have had to go i

- That was my reaction too, so I replaced the too long, too thin cable with a shorter run of #12. It didn't make any difference, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't have problems down the road. Ron
