[TenTec] Need help from an Orion owner......

[Carl Moreschi]

I just listened on my Orion.  I found an S9  CW station on antenna 1.
Switching to antenna 2, I could just barely hear him at S1.  This is great
isolation.  So the real question is how many S units lower are you hearing
the station with antenna 2 selected.  Mine is showing greater than 8 S units
lower.
