[TenTec] Orion (original) S-meter

[Rick Williams]

FWIW, I had the URM-25F sig gen out and was trying the comparison to Barry
(N1EU) and Phil's (W9XX) posted results on the S-meter for the O II.

Here's what I got.  

uV            Theory            My Orion           Posted Orion II

5              S5.7                S3.8            S3
15             S7.3                S5.8            S6
50             S9                  S8.5            S9
150            S9+10dB             S9+10dB         s9+20dB
500            S9+20dB             S9+20dB         s9+35dB
1500           s9+30dB             S9+32dB         S9+45dB
5000           S9+40dB             S9+45dB         S9+55dB  

These results are for my original Orion running firmware 2.054 at 14.200
MHz.  Obviously the decimal S-meter readings are to be taken with a grain of
salt.  But I've seen a lot worse!
