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.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion2 auto tuner
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.
