Absolutely correct.  Its not worth the trouble and
speaking from personal experience you will definitely
get an OO letter in the mail.  So forget 17 meters
there is nothing you can do to prevent being in
violation.

<DIV>Hi Mike (et al)--</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The Omni-D has internal frequencies which mix to
produce spurious emissions 
when the rig is used on 17 meters.&nbsp; Ten-Tec techs
told me the only cure for 
this was to get another rig for that band.&nbsp; They
changed the mixing scheme 
in the Corsair/Delta 580 era to obviate this
problem.&nbsp; My suggestion is 
that you forego your attempt to use that Omni-D on 17
meters.</DIV>

what is necessary to add
