[Orion] Orion SWR readout

[Bill Tippett]

NQ5T:
I'm trying to figure out how the bit of jitter in the Orion's power meter
reading is either a nuisance, or affects one's communications capability, or
one's ability to operate a station.

         I agree Grant.  No rig is perfect, but would you rather have a rig 
that
is cosmetically perfect or one which has superior performance?  The answer
is that it depends on the user.  Some will prefer cosmetics over performance.
Sure it would be nice to have both, but as I said no rig is perfect and
probably never will be.  When Martin calls it a "nuisance", I also wonder
why.  I never even noticed it until he mentioned it.  I might have noticed
it if Orion's actual power output varied but I suppose I don't operate key-down
modes (AM and digital) enough to have ever noticed.  Even if I did and knew
it was simply an artifact, I'm not sure it would bother me, but I do understand
how it could bother some people with different mind-sets.  I'm not saying one
is right or wrong...just different.
