[TenTec] PreFlight Check List

[Richard Detweiler]

Hello all,

For the Orion,

Anyone have sort of a check list of things they go through when they start 
listening on a band,  For example, RF AMP then Attenuation then RF Gain to 
get S8 noise, then AGC Gain to Sx+2, NR to 4-5, AN 3-6.

Interested to hear the different methods.

Thanks
Richard.
