The "S" meter is not accurate when compared to my TT Jupiter or the TS-830S.
My neighbor Jim N0JSN also has an Orion and has the same issue when compared
to his
TS-940, IC-756Proll, Yeasu Mark V and TT Jupiter.
In other words, when a received signal is an S-9 on XYZ radio, the Orion "S"
meter shows an S-1. Sounds like an S-9 signal though.
If I had some way of injecting an 50uv signal into the Orion Ant jack then I
would know for sure.
Or, is there a way of configuring the Orion, using the many features, to get
it to show an accurate "S" reading.
Its all relative anyway. I always give everyone a 5/9.
