[Orion] Orion - how with ALC?

[Carl Moreschi]

The ALC in the Orion is internal only.  There is no external ALC on any
tentec radio.  You simply adjust the "PWR" level on the Orion for the
correct drive level when in CW mode.  Then in SSB, the drive level will
never be more than this value.  You then adjust the mic gain level until the
red ALC light on the Orion flickers on voice peaks.   This will never
overdrive your amplifier as long as the steady state PWR level is correct
for CW mode.
