Bob,  or the group.

I am finally using my Orion for its very first contest.
I was reluctant to do so due to the learning curve, but tonight it seems 
to be doing fine except for one thing.
CW relay is just going rat-a-tat-tat inside the Orion.  But the Amp ( 
non QSK) is getting a good non QSK PTT / amp relay closure from it.  In 
other words the amps relay is not keying like a QSK signal.  It is 
normal in a sort of Vox dely.

My question is this, is the Orion acting normally with the relay going 
nuts all the time with every CW dot and dah, or do I have a setting set 
wrong?   I am afraid I will wear out the relay.

The manual doesn't seem to say much.
