[Scan-DC] Sig Quality - TV Converters

[W4NNG]

This may be of particular interest to scanner folks

One aspect of the an Apex is that in addition to signal strenght it has a 
signal quality readout. Very interesting to play with and see the relative 
lack of correlation between SQ and strenght as one rotates an antenna.    I 
haven't seen any other boxes that have SQ
