Re: [TenTec] Orion II - Initial Reactions and Impressions

That receiver is soooo good that the readings must be increased to leave 
room for the weak ones that one couldn't hear with older, inferior 
equipment.  For instance a signal which is not even perceptible on older 
equipment might need to read S-2 or S-3 on the Orion II.  You can see how 
S-meter readings would be quickly rendered meaningless as they all glumped 
together.

73 & Happy New Year,
