Yeah... me, too. It was a big part of my decision to make the Omni VII my first ham transceiver. -- K8JHR -- that says something about what Ten-Tec accomplished in their design. _____________________
Good news, DB. Enjoy !! -- K8JHR -- my first impressions. I like what I see and hear so far. It will take me a while to get used to the user interface, try out all the features, and audition the soun
Switches need period exercise to keep the contact resistance low. ___________________________________________ Well... shoot, Gary... Dr. James prescribes more time in the shack, on the air. You can t
You are gonna have to try REAL HARD, Ron. Poor Rick is located on the East side of a small mountain that lies to the west of his station. He has to scale the peak to reach North America. I looked at
Rick, DJ0IP ("DM5P" in the contest) PS: James, I worked Michigan 3 times; where were you? ___________________________________________ Er... I was practicing the Code... I am not ready to work a CW m
It is hard to judge from here, without knowing how each rig was set up. But interesting nonetheless. The Omni VII is just another radio if it is not set up right. -- JHR -- I did a little bit of A/B/
Yep... but that is a fair question ! Also check for excess flux on a solder joint or a cold solder joint. Yep - I did today - on your suggestion. The thing that gets me is that it works, and tuned up
Thanks for the uptake on the different impedance values. Further research at the suggestion of another list member has me thinking ... well ... er... what I wrote was mostly correct for most situatio
I would go on eBay and find a nice inexpensive dynamic microphone, such as the Samson R31S, and wire it to the rig - probably cost you $15 - $20 all told, and he will have a nice microphone - I would
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed. I will do that just to be sure. -- K8JHR -- Did you check the diodes in the pickup circuit ?? There also should be a 68 ohm resistor across the bridge circuit you might

Heck Yeah. No worries. You-sa gonna like it...especially if you do Code. -- K8JHR -- I will soon be the owner of a nice Omni VI Plus with PSU and desk mic. Did I make a good decision? _______________
Hmmm... why do you say this, JB ... are the gray faced amps less capable than the black faced amps? Should I avoid the gray faced units? (He asked because he is actually considering adding another am
Hmmm.... Rick... They call that "RICK-o-Shay Radio Syndrome." You sell it, and another comes back to ya. ________________ K8JHR __________________ __________________________________________ /
Well... that all seems sorta parochial, I guess. If there is no technical reason the gray faced amps are bad or worse than the other color amps, ... why diss the guy on what he wants? If there was a
Right back atcha ! Sheesh... That is one scary dude pictured there... a refugee from Halloween, no doubt.... Happy days and Happy New Year to ya. -- K8JHR -- It was a pleasure being together with you
Thanks for the nice wishes ... but is that photo of a refugee from Halloween ? ;-) Happy New Year Y'all. -- K8JHR -- It was a pleasure being together with you here on the Ten-Tec forum this past year
I understand the best amplifier model for it would be the 422 Centurion. -- Maybe that is because it is the simply the best amp anywhere . . . OK... so I am biased... I am very happy with MY Centuri
