[TenTec] Orion 565 XMIT alignment

[Carl Moreschi]

Art,

I believe you are correct.  I would set the ALC pot for 100 watts and 
not 110.  The power indicator is supposed to read watts and not 
percentage.  If you exceed 100 watts, you signal will start to have more 
IMD.

> Thanks a lot Mike, that answers the ALC aspect of the question. Just for clarification though, you say to set the ALC SET to where the actual RF output as measured by an external wattmeter is about 110% of the pwr setting on the front panel. In this case you're looking for 110W on the external meter, correct?  Is the number on the front panel (100 in this case) supposed to represent power output in watts or percentage of maximum output? Is this possibly where the PWR pot comes into play, to adjust power output reading on the analog meter?
