[TenTec] About the ACOM/Orion

[Jerry Volpe]

I am very curious about the ongoing thread on the Orion and the ACOM. 
(The ACOM is a high-end linear amplifier?) Please, would someone take a 
moment and provide a brief summary of the ACOM, in particular what makes 
it unique and attractive overall. There seems to be a number of Orion 
owners who are using it.What do the errors refered to actually do? 
Shutdown the amp? What do you do to clear them? Are they related to QSK 
operation? Are these errors generated by an 'ACOM' preceived impedance 
mismatch with the Orion, over-drive, T/R timing issue?

I am not about to offer any advice. Anything I would add would be 
entirely theoretical and based on SOP troubleshooting and certainly 
already tried numerous times. It would simply be more informative as an 
interested party to have a more solid context for better 
understanding.... and you never know there might be an ACOM/Orion 
combination in my future too.

Have a great day!
