[TenTec] Orion ALC & power output indication...

[Roy]

"...The Orion does not seem  to indicate the actual level of RF output
on the meter; rather it seems to show the percentage of full power the 
operator sets - that is,
100 indicates 100% of full power as set by the internal ALC pot, which could 
be more or
less than 100 watts.  My experience with two Orions is that the factory sets 
this level to be
100 watts. (etc.)"


But if true, this concept would be 100% redundant. The power is already set 
on a similiar, mostly arbitrary readout number on the screen using the PWR 
button and multi-knob?
