Matching Accessories Question
1) Can someone please tell me what is the Matching Power Supply to go with a
Tentec OMNI VI Plus?
The Model 962 was the current PS when the VI Plus came out. The 961 looks
identical and will work just as well.
2) Can someone please tell me what is the Matching Desk Microphone to go
with a Tentec
OMNI VI Plus?
Sri, never used a Ten-Tec mic. I use my 50+ year old Shure 444.
3) Can someone please tell me what is the Matching Linear Amplifier to go
with a Tentec
OMNI VI Plus?
What do you mean by "matching"? If you mean matching in looks, then the
only one was the Hercules II (transistorized).
If you mean "matching in connectivity", than the short answer is any Ten-Tec
amp.
4) Is there a matching Tuner and / or auto-tuner for the above?
Thanks in advance for any help. This is one set of information I could not
find in the
"TENTEC WIKI" or the TENTEC site.
Again, "matching" is kind of a rubber term.
Some people like to look at their station more than use it.
For me, functionality is more important.
The Auto Tuner matched by looks.
The Model 238 matched by looks,
The Model 238A, 238B, and the new new Model 238C are all better tuners
because the turn counter is more precise, enabling better reset ability. I
found this very important in contests where I wanted rapid band change.
Also, with the Model 238, you have to restring a new dial cord every few
years, otherwise it becomes a bit elastic and the dial is pretty
meaningless. Other than that, electrically, it works just as good as the
newer models and costs just half as much on the used market. Of course the
older 238 (no suffix) is the only one which matches in looks.
