It sounds like the amp does not connect TXEN to TXOUT when its antenna relay
switches to transmit. If you have the amp in standby but still connected to
TXEN and TXOUT, does the Orion transmit normally with the keying loop
enabled?

Hi Carl , thanks for the quick response , yes the Orion will show power
out
on my meter when the tx en and tx out are jumpered together and the key
loop is on and amp key tracks is on the keying loop setting . so you
think
the problem is with the amp . thanks John kb2huk----- Original

John,
What I'm trying to do is diagnose what is going on. If you turn on the
Orion keying loop and do not connect anything between TXEN and TXOUT,
transmit will be blocked. If you then jumper TXEN and TXOUT together
without the amp connected, the Orion should work alone and normally. So,
does this work this way? If this does, then the problem is in the amp.
If
it doesn't, then the problem is in the Orion.

John,
>
1) Turn on TXloop for antenna 1 on the orion.
2) Connect TXEN to TXOUT on the Orion.
Does the Orion now key when you try to transmit? It should.
If that works, then connect TXOUT to the Titan key in. Connect the
Titan
key out to the Orion TXEN. The Orion should still key. So exactly
what
does not work.

Does the term QSK or PTT ring a bell?
