[TenTec] Orion I CRT

[CATFISHTWO at aol.com]

I had the same problem and had to run a 1/2 inch wide braided  ground  strap 
from the power supply ( 50 amp astron) to the ground lug on the  orion,  fixed 
it in a  flash  I guess the screen is very  sensitive to voltage 
fluctuations..

=================================
 
 have an Orion I that I recently purchased used. I have noticed that  the
CRT display flashes on and off with each dot and dash that I send. If  I
reduce the power output to 50 watts or less the problem goes away. The  SWR
is 1:1 and the Orion is properly grounded.

Is this normal?
