John,
My Orion 1 exhibits what you describe - I have nothing connected to
Ant 2, but if I switch from Ant 1 with a signal on it to Ant 2, I can
still
hear the signal, though faintly, from the Ant 1 input (or some common
coupling.) I attribute it to the high gain of the Orion, but it could
also
be a lack of strenuous isolation between the two positions. Gauging by
the
S-meter, an S+ signal goes to something that doesn't move the S-meter, but
can be copied when the ant selection is changed. I can't believe others
are
not hearing this - I have not owned a rig in years (TT, ICOM, KW) that
didn't exhibit this kind of behavior (not that one doesn't exist).

Duane....please explain a tad more. As I mentioned, I can switch from
ANT1
on the front panel to ANT2 on the front panel while having the only
antenna
on ANT1 on the rear panel. When switching between ANT1 and ANT2 on the
front panel I can hear in both positions. The other three responses I
have
received cannot. I don't believe there should be any coupling between the
two switch positions.

I can do the same with only the ground side of the antenna connected at
the
238B antenna tuner. The Orion has a lot of gain, and often I can copy
signals with nothing connected to the antenna port at all.

Hi folks.....
Can someone please see if they have ANY coupling when between ANT1 and
ANT2
positions on the FRONT panel?
I find that with only one antenna, connected only to the rear panel ANT1
SO
239, I can read signals in either the ANT1 or ANT2 front panel positions.
Obviously, the signal is MUCH stronger when front panel is set for ANT1.
But, I can still fully copy the signal when using front panel position
ANT2.
What do you find, please?
Thanks much for any help.........
