[TenTec] ORION Specifications?

[Jim]

Rick, you answered your question. I think the TenTec spec's are TenTec's
and Elecraft is quoting the ARRL measured spec's.

On T-T's website, they publish a transceiver comparison table in
which Orion specs are stated, and the specs of the other
transceivers are the ARRL-measured specs.

On Elecraft's website they also publish a large table of specs,
quoting ARRL measurements.

There is significant discrepancy for the Orion.  Does anyone know
why?

For the Orion, the specs are:

Ten-Tecs page:  101 dB  and  +24 dBm
Elecraft's page:    92 dB  and  +22 dBm

I understand that a couple of dB can be simply the difference in
measuring two different transceivers of the same make, but 9dB?

Anyone have any ideas?
