Having read the ARRL Omni VI Plus review in the November, 1997 QST, I
telephoned Ten-Tec with a couple of questions, as I'm certain some of you
will have.
"All OMNI VI Plus transceivers meet FCC requirements of -40dB on all
bands with 5 watts and above output power. We agree that reversing those
two mixer pins causes it to fall out of specs by a few db ONLY when
running 5 watts or LESS on the 17 meter and higher bands
(17m-15m-12m-10m)".
So don't hit the panic button over the weekend or after having just read
the review.
I wish they had reviewed the Yaesu FT-1000MP with all the filters I
bought in March and sold at a loss eight days later.
I continue to enjoy my Omni VI Plus.
