I just listened on my Orion. I found an S9 CW station on antenna 1.
Switching to antenna 2, I could just barely hear him at S1. This is great
isolation. So the real question is how many S units lower are you hearing
the station with antenna 2 selected. Mine is showing greater than 8 S
units
lower.

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.
