Great data. Thanks.
Now to the ANT 1 vs. ANT 2 coupling, anything greater than 40 dB is of no
significant value.
As they say, this is a "no problem" issue.

Here's a chart that shows the readings in dBm related S-Units for the
Orion

Folks, if we are going to discuss this, lets get some data either in dBw
or
uV values. Otherwise, what's an S-9 signal and a S-2 signal?
Frankly, with >60 dB isolation, a signal on the inactive input won't be
heard above atmospheric noise on the active input.

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.

I realize its not a Ten Tec but if you are interested in a comparison,
Ft-1000D signal 30 db over 9, just audible with ant 2 selected.
thats more what I consider isolation. YMMV
My Omni 6 with S9 signal can just hear the ant 2 selected,
no meter movement.
I sure dont need a radio that can hear off the other antenna port.
