[TenTec] Basic question (especially NR operation)

[Joe Giacobello]

Actually, Sinisa, I was referring to your FB writeup on the Orion where 
you recommend backing off on the RF gain until the S-meter drops back 
about 12 dB(?) or so.  It was your first step in optimizing the receive 
performance of the Orion, if I remember correctly.  I agree with the RF 
gain technique on older technology rigs.  In fact, I was taught to do 
this as a novice back in 1956!

73, Joe
