[TenTec] Re: Using Orion with existing 961 PSU

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

The TT spec for the Orion tx current draw is 24 or 25 A; Jupiter 20.  I 
guess Orion's processors and extra circuitry add on to the load.  First time 
I have seen a solid state exciter draw that much d.c. at 13.8 v. for 100w.  
It looks like what I wrote before was bad advice--the fellow who asked would 
probably be safer picking up a higher current p.s. somewhere.  If not the TT 
supply, which is probably perfectly good, one from Astron which still makes 
linear supplies.
