[TenTec] Orion SWR protection

[Pete Smith]

I'm reading through the manual and can't find a specification or other 
description of how the protective circuitry works in the event of excessive 
SWR.  The reason this is important is that my QSK-modified SB-220 has 
fairly high input SWR on one band (40), and I have not been successful in 
fixing this.  It otherwise works fine, and my TS-930 doesn't care, while my 
Mark 5 folds back its output power too much to get full output from the amp 
on that band without using the antenna tuner.

At what SWR does the Orion start to reduce its power output?
