Oh woe is me. I have been using the linear with my Tentec Orion quite happily, manually switching the relay not via the rig nor leaving it permanently shorted as when I found it. ?I have been running

Re: fl2100z / Tentec Orion 2
Yes. That is a great solution. I have a 5kVA unit with 10V taps from -40V to +20V compared to the incoming mains. I use it on my AL-1500 and HF-2500 amps. I run them on 230V and they are very happy

Re: fl2100z / Tentec Orion 2
autotransformer is the solution.

Re: fl2100z / Tentec Orion 2
The biggest single issue in this country (Australia) with the 2100 amps and a lot of others, for that matter, is the filament voltage. Due to our 240V to 250V mains, it is always high. With the 2100

Re: fl2100z / Tentec Orion 2
Make sure the Orion cam tolerate the keyline voltage of the fl2100z. Not sure, but you may need a buffer to protect the radio. 73, N0NC Chuck

Hi, Not sure this helps but Ameritron has standalone stepstart units for both 120v and 240v as needed. ICP-240 and ICP-120 and are about $89.00. Well built and are plug and play. I have 3 here that I
