[TenTec] Orion 1.370 and "PTT in CW as"

[ac5e at comcast.net]

HI Jerry: Well, my Orion and the amps are  built in and it's a real pain to get  them out single handed - but it is set up with two versions of Titan, so I can only speak about the keying loop - and not the external line to an amp keying relay. 

Setting the "PTT as" to either MOX or NONE  disables the keying line on the accessory DIN plug. Neither of the keying loop amps are engaged at key closure when the PTT as is engaged unless the PTT is set to key, in which case the accessory keying line is active and everything works normally.  

However, if yours seems to work differently, an ohmmeter across the keying relay line (pull the line at the amp and measure between the center pin and the shield) should give you a solid indication of what's engaged and what's not. If yours works as you describe it might be worth while to call factory service.  Some of these minor glitches have been corrected almost overnight in the past.
