Hi again, Larry-- I just dug through my Omni folder and found a Ten-Tec modification for the Omni meter lamp. The modification sheet came with two parts, a 1892 bayonet base bulb (14.4 volt - 0.12 am
Looking closer at the drawing (with spectacles on) it appears there are two wires connecting to the switch on the back of the ALC pot/NB switch assembly. Connecting to the switch at the rear of the a
Are you saying that a 'compression joint' is not good for frequencies above audio? Mike All electrical considerations aside, one may take into considerations the mechanical qualities of 'Stainless St
(In a factory mod for the Omni-C, Ten-Tec suggested replacing the #47 lamp/180 ohm series resistor with the 1892 lamp and 10 ohm series resistor.) I tried 100 ohm and found the lamp much too dim. A 2
The Omni-C is not a good rig to use on 17 meters because it uses a 9 MHz IF and consequently puts out spurs on that band. The Corsairs and the 580 Delta are good rigs for 17 meters. Mike
I'm a great believer in the "Harbach modifications" to the SB-220. I've made all of them except the new fan and meters and I'm very happy to have done that. The 'soft key' module reduces the voltage
The Omni-C is not a good rig to use on 17 meters because it uses a 9 MHz IF and consequently puts out spurs on that band. The Omni-B is not good on the 17 meter band for the same reason. The Corsairs
Hi, Ken-- Put the crystal in it and then try it out, listening on a separate receiver or viewing the output with a spectrum analyzer. It is at that point you may understand of what it is that we spea
Oh, I see. 22 (new band xtal) +5 (pto) =27 ('VFO Mix') 27 (above 'VFO Mix') -9 (carrier oscillator) = 18 MHz (operating frequency) Now to the tuned circuits. . . 73, Mike N4NT
They used Cramolin by Caig Labs. That was replaced by Caig by Deoxit. See: http://support.caig.com/faq.php?article=41 Ten-Tec advised using the Cramolin in the red can to clean the contacts and then
I always thought the Delta 580 was a pretty good rig. I can tell you that Al Kahn (of Ten-Tec fame) had his choice of rigs and ran the 580 mobile for a long time. The only major shortcoming in my boo
I believe that to properly clean the PTO parts of grease, the PTO must be disassembled. I used rubbing alcohol the first time, then found that Dawn dishwashing liquid worked well. Cleaning down in th
It's really a 5 watt rig? Mike From: "Ken & Linda Burrough" <w8keb@1st.net> To: "Ten-Tec @ Contesting. Com" <tentec@contesting.com> To: <tentec@contesting.com> have to
Easy, if you have three hands. Mike How hard is this? Mine is a little stiff in places and also I seem to experience some warbling on rx signals. Doug N4IJ
The Triton IV (544) came with individual metal clips which swiveled from each of the two front feet and acted so as elevate the front of the rig. It did not come with one large bail as did the later
it's that klez thing. the same headers appear in emails directly to me (and probably other list members) which purport to have a file attachment that is a cure for the w32/elkhorn virus but actually
