[TenTec] Orion Question

[Bill Miner]

Earl, 

F Y I

On the upper left hand corner of the screen display is a TUNE button. 
If you have POWER adjust selected you can set the power to any level
from 1 to 100 watts for tune up in any mode.  I usually tune my 238
antenna tuner with about twenty watts output.
