Rick:

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about that after I sent in the 
comment. The ORION manual says without 25 A the transmitter may put out 
less than 100 watts. I guess that means an Astron linear :-)

Anyhow, I may be old fashioned, but I would be just a little more 
comfortable using a linear with the Orion.

73,
