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

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Folks, if we are going to discuss this, lets get some data either in dBw or 
uV values.  Otherwise, what's an S-9 signal and a S-2 signal?

Frankly, with >60 dB isolation, a signal on the inactive input won't be 
heard above atmospheric noise on the active input.
