Hello Neil,
My Omni-C, which is the same as your radio on the back, has a jumper between
the 'vfo out' and the 'vfo in'. I just used a center pin only jumper but I
don't know why the shield of the RCA wouldn't work. You may try not using
the shield, just only the center pin. Let me know how that works.
Best regards,
Ralph

Subject: [TenTec] DIY VFO jumper for Omni B
Can anyone tell me what the external VFO jumper for an OMNI B should look
like? When I bought the rig, it came with the external VFO which I no
longer have. Now to make the rig work, I think I need to replace this
jumper. I have tried just using a RCA cable that I had around the shack,
but when I transmit, the displayed frequency jumps around wildly, so I
don't think that is right.
I have some RCA connectors and some wire, but I don't know what exactly I
am trying to make. Can someone offer a description or a picture of what
the original external VFO jumper looked like so I can attempt to duplicate
it? Or failing that, can someone explain why my simple RCA cable doesn't
work?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
-Neil KD0UKC
