[TenTec] 566 Orion II Firmware Version V3.029 ---SpectrumDisplay &Tuning...

I can see your side of it, but I think it does relate to performance
because it IS a tuning aid.  It helps determine the best RF-Gain
setting to minimize noise, and maximize signal - i.e.,  what setting
achieves the best S/N - signal-to-noise ratio at a given moment.

Certainly, it is not worthy of becoming an obsession, as you
suggest, of course, but it provides a visual clue, to supplement
audible clues, when trying to  zero in the best S/N.

Just MY take...
