Just posted an update on the TenTec web page for the Orion II Model 566.

Version 3.033xa December 20, 2012
Added S-Meter Calibration
The procedure is downloaded with the 3.033xa update, There is a
start-menu link. e.g. in
Windows, click on Start, All-Programs, Ten-Tec, OrionII Firmware
Update, then look for the file
S-Meter 565 566 Calibration Procedure
Corrected Sweep alignment in LSB
Corrected SAF/Notch setting after power up.

The procedure is not necessary, but allows those that want the S-Meter
readout to be as exact as they can get it, they can adjust it. It is
actually adjusting the voltage level to the meter, e.g. when the
software detects an S-9, it will look up the value in this table and
use it to drive the meter. It does not adjust what is read by the
software, an S9 is still an S9 in the software.
