[TenTec] Orion ALC

I am running a Quadra and so far no problems except that you get about 650 
watts out on low instead of 500 and about 1200 on high.  I guess it is because 
the 100 watts drive from the Orion (I actually get about 125 on some bands) is 
not being knocked down by an ALC connection to what the Quadra expects.

I do not know if this is causing a problem on SSB as I only run CW.  Since 
the Quadra depends on ALC to set the drive level, you might find you have to 
reduce the drive on the Orion manually to stay clean.
