[TenTec] Orion2 auto tuner

[Duane Calvin]

On the Orion I, and I assume it's the same on the II, the "Tuned" indicator
only stays on if the tuner can successfully bring the SWR below about 2:1.
If it cannot, the "tuned" line is turned off.

Ya think if the O2's auto tuner didn't match the antenna the "Tuned" just 
above the sub receivers audio scale would not be there??? No matter the 
ending SWR it says "tuned" in my case.
I can't determine if the O2 is tuned or not by the quick SWR readings.
I have to key the O2 after the tuner gets done to see "SWR HIGH" if the 
tuner couldn't match the antenna.
It would be nice if the "tuned" would disappear if the SWR is high, no?
Am I looking at this wrong?
Thanks.
