Ihave two towers about 18m high, on one tower a 3 element stepp ir, on second tower a 4 element QUAD from Cubex, both ant are 5 bands. I had problems with the stepp ir therefor i bouhgt the quad,i have now fixed the stepp ir ,but not using it much. I will try to connect both antennas together just for fun,not shure what i need to do that ? the distanse between the two tower/antennas about 50-60m. (I am not going to stack them .)I know i may not win to much, but would be interesting trying it. Any ideas how to do it ??

S-meter will not read low signals,a station with s 4-6 reads as s zero on Orion 2, real strong signals lift the meter .Sub rx meter ok bandscoope also ok,with signal generator at 50 microvolt s-meter shows only about s-6-7.We tried to adjust up the meter with the pot meter but did not help either. Have done all resets, newest firmware got a new s-meter from Ten Tec,but no result. And ,there are no ATT or any RF GAIN ,no wrong settings done . Ten Tec need the radio ,not any advice from them what problem could be,shipping cost from Norway to USA is very expencive,so try here for help first. Radio rx is ok it is ONLY the s-meter reading that have a problem.I have red some Orion 2 owners have had problem with s-meter reading ,but with to high reading. Sorry poor English.

Itried adjusting the rf gain, and also did a full master reset but still low reading ,and yes we will try to calibrate meter again,i just dont understand how it could happen over night like that,we had no thunderstorm here or things like that either that night.
