[TenTec] Houston......Orion has Landed

[N0KHQ at aol.com]

The "S" meter is not accurate when compared to my TT Jupiter or the TS-830S. 

My neighbor Jim N0JSN also has an Orion and has the same issue when compared 
to his
TS-940, IC-756Proll, Yeasu Mark V and TT Jupiter.

In other words, when a received signal is an S-9 on XYZ radio, the Orion "S" 
meter shows an S-1. Sounds like an S-9 signal though.

If I had some way of injecting an 50uv signal into the Orion Ant jack then I 
would know for sure.

Or, is there a way of configuring the Orion, using the many features, to get 
it to show an accurate "S" reading.

Its all relative anyway. I always give everyone a 5/9.
