The "50 over" points up one of distinct problems in the O2. If that S meter
reading was with the preamp off, it was actually about +30 and if the preamp
was on, it was more like +15. I am hoping this will be fixed soon.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] The ORION II sure makes me happy
My Orion2 finally met it's match.
HB9RDE was on 18.112.5 running 50 over and I was trying to copy EL5PM
running S8 on 18.115.0, a new one for me. The SteppIR beam was headed 100
degrees from the Western New York area.
It was all the O2 could handle!
Still, it's a great receiver.
Got him later when the HB was not on.
