[TenTec] AMP driveOrion II versus Icom Pro II

[Duane Calvin]

Michael,
	I have no problem driving my Alpha 99 to full output easily - same
output from the Orion I as you report from your Pro II.  Not sure what the
ameritron unit is, but I hope you don't have a tuner between the rig and the
amp.  The tuner should go after the amp - assume that's what you have.  That
should make zero difference on conditions presented to the rig by the amp.
Don't know that I have any suggestions, but would be glad to answer
questions about my setup...

	73, Duane

I am finding that the output drive from the Icom Pro
II  produces better output to my Alpha 99  versus the
Orion II. THat is 35-38 watts from the PRO II.  Only
diff is changing of the transceiver.  I use a
Ameritron ARB-704 and a Nye Viking Tuner in the line.

What could be causing this to happen ??  

I can consistently get 1500 out driving the Alpha 99. 
Orion I do not get 1500.   

Anyone else seen this ??  Is there a setting I am
missing with the Orion..

Please contact me offline if you have some
suggestions.
