Hi all...kinda new on here..I now have 4 Orion's and a few more on the
way...today listening on 20m, one Orion was not hearing an Eu station at the
same signal level, in fact it was about 20 db down from the second radio on
the band..at first I started thinking that the large 20m stack had a
problem...but put the antennas in the back of both radios and did a/b
antenna comparisons...so the stacks are working ok...so I moved the radio to
the 80m station and took the 80m Orion and put it in the second 20m
place...now the two radios are hearing very close to the same levels...and
now the radio that was moved to 80m is about 20db down from a FT-1000D that
is also on the same band...is there a problem here??

Thanks de Rick NQ4I
