[TenTec] RE: [Orion] Truth in Advertising...Icom Style

[NJ0IP]

Bill's first document was just fine here, showing -17 dBm and -18.8 dBm.
My mail client is Office 2003.

Bill mentioned earlier that his document had "-" but it seems several of you
saw a "+" on your screens.  Weird!

I didn't understand Bill's calculated superiority of the Orion until I
realized he omitted the two minus signs from the Pro3's figures.  It should
have read -17dBm and -18.8dBm respectively.
