[TenTec] Airpax circuit breaker for Orion

[Carl Moreschi]

The only thing the airpax can help with is if the finals of the Orion go
into parasitic oscillation.  A parasitic oscillation develops its own drive
and can cause the final current to go very high.  This is very unlikely but
remotely possible.  I have been running tentec radios for 25 years without
airpax breakers and with an Astron 35M and SWR's sometimes above 3 to 1, and
never had a failure.  Adding the airpax is like an insurance policy, but in
my opinion not necessary with the Orion, Omni VI, Omni V, and Jupiter.
