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

[Steve Ellington]

I injected 50uv and the meter was very close to S9 on the orion I had. Stay on the case until you get this fixed.

  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.
