Radio Gurus, My Omni 6 Plus has an intermittant no RX/TX problem on ten meters only. The freq display reads correctly and the ALC led comes on as it should when I key the rig. I spoke with Paul at Te
Good suggestion Jim but 10 and 12 meters share the same pair of relays, so it's not a relay. In a message dated 6/25/2015 4:09:18 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, jim.allen@longhornband.net writes: When I
Thanks Mark, I've replaced several of those relays over the years. I can do it in about an hour now. But I'm fairly sure that 10 and 12 use the same set of contacts so it's probably not a relay. I ha
I inherited a sick Omni 5 from a friend. TenTec looked at it for him and they think it has a bad Logic board. They have none left. ? Anyone out there have a known good one? ? Thanks, Joe
Guys, ? I'm looking for a UDN2985A. It's used on the Xtal osc-LO mixer board in an Omni 5. I'll also consider buying?a whole board if there's one out there. ? (I just found the bad chip this morning
I get this in a digest form. It seems to be turning into a repeat of the repeats. And now arguing about political crap. It may be time to go somewhere else. Just my opinion Paul _____________________

Here's my story... Several years ago I was in a CW QSO and decided to switch to a straight key in mid-stream. I turned the drive all the way down on my OMNI-6 Plus so I could adjust the key spacing w
I second the motion. Most of the Ten Tec model numbers mean nuttin' to me and I'm guessin' Mike and I aren't the only ones in that predicament. That's my two cents... Later, Joe In a message dated 11
Anyone seen an OMNI-VI do this? Symptoms: The rig appears to be stuck on the same QRG all the time. The freq display changes when you crank the tuning knob, but it's not actually changing the RX freq
Thanks Ken. Sounds like you have gone a round or two with OMNI VI's in the past. I do have a scope so I can check those sigs you mentioned. To make sure we are on the same page: The displayed freq is
Thanks for the good info Dan. I have avoided xmiting. Figured I'd toast something. I'm sure the swr is whacko, but I do have a dummy load if I need to key the rig. Since it's messed up in both RX and
Interesting... "Grabbing at straws", I removed the back-up battery to force a hard reset of the microprocesser and voila, all seems well again. FYI: the battery still reads 3 volts...
Spoke too soon. It flaked out after putting it back together. At least it ran for a while, making me think it's an interconnect problem, as you guys suggested.
Guys, Thanks for your help. The last thing I did was go over the PLL board (aka synthesizer board) with a hot iron. When I was done, I could see the output QRG change with the up/down buttons, as adv
Some hams, it appears, are up to their ears, with boards sick and fair, and irons , A pair? To fix the beast that warms their hearts. After a dose of solder and toast, They emerged with a grin a rig
