I had the same problem and had to run a 1/2 inch wide braided ground strap
from the power supply ( 50 amp astron) to the ground lug on the orion, fixed
it in a flash I guess the screen is very sensitive to voltage
fluctuations..

=================================
have an Orion I that I recently purchased used. I have noticed that the
CRT display flashes on and off with each dot and dash that I send. If I
reduce the power output to 50 watts or less the problem goes away. The SWR
is 1:1 and the Orion is properly grounded.
Is this normal?
