I am looking for a photo-copy or digital photo of the back of a Micronta (Radio Shack) mini-VHF-UHF watt-meter SWR meter (model 19-320) THAT I WILLUSE WITH MY TEN-TEC 2-meter rig. There is a decal on
Bob, I'll add my two cents. I have gotten several reports of "Gosh, your audio sure sounds great. What mic are you using?" I'd guess over five years that's happened 50 times; no foolin'. I'm using th
Does anyone have any experience with the Ten-TEc 2-10 xverter? I am considering using one on my Omni VI+ to get on EME. I am just starting this, and know little about EME. I read that you need a low
Crit, I am not familiar with the Option 1 upgrade, but on my Omni VI+ (factory version), it's a straightforward low-pass filter. It attenuates high frequencies, and allows low frequencies to pass thr
Dear Raymond, I think you have captured the state of things pretty well. I am amused by the occasional "Your 5x9, but please repeat your name and QTH" I hear. And I have truly found the equipment rev
I repent. For a very long time I have loved my Omni VI+, but have harbored a notion that somehow the fit and finish wasn't up to some of the competing equipment. Today I happened (for the first time

Full homecoming info is on the Ten Tec web site (I just happened across it...) Lots of info, driving directions, FAQs, tailgating, etc. 73, Bernie <<I must have blinked, but I'd like to know when the
Seems we've been down this road before on the reflector. Here I go again... 6+, healthy in every respect except...On 17 meters, after it warms up a bit, all received signals exhibit a distinct chirp.
Bob, My Omni VI+ goes down to 1 watt on my external meter (a pretty decent one by Welz, with a 20 watt full scale deflection on one setting). At the same time the internal meter on the VI+ barely def
Fellow Ten Tec'ites, Thanks for all the replies regarding my dead Omni VI+. Again, only about a half watt output on all bands (teeny bit more on 15 and 10, but that might be my watt meter's non-linea
Fellow Ten Tec'ites, I never cease to marvel at Ten Tec. Called today regarding my problem. Didn't expect to get through so soon (first day back after a long holiday week). Talked right away to the s
Hi Gang, Trying to repair my ill Omni VI+ after Ten tec kindly shipped me parts for the: - Low Pass Filter Board: Hard to get to the board, but easy to replace four diodes and a transistor. Done. - B
Well, figured out (painstakingly) D7 and D8... Could still use some hlep with the 9MHz board chip mystery. Thanks. 73, bernie -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/tentec Submissions: tentec@c
