My OMNI V has an orange dot. Which color dot has the best IF in the radio? Must be a secret plan by Ten Tec to make sure only the best customers get the best radios by color coding them. If the don't
Leo, if you get two Orions on your offer can you send me one? I won't even complain if it gets here DOA. Oh, I will pay the cost to ship + sales and fed.tax. I will also send you a picture of my hunt
Goes to show you that each radio has it own virtue. I have a Corsair II an Omni V from Ten Tec. These are great radios. I also have Drakes and Heathkits. One day I will own a Collins KWM-2. I like th
I have a Butternut HF6V ground mounted vertical and on 10 meters and 14 meters I get low output from both my Corsair II and OMNI V. On 10 meters my output on the Corsair II is about 60 watts. The ant
Yes, it was Stu. Without the MFJ I never would have been successful. The problem is not with the SWR. The SWR is right on. The mystery is why the low output with a flat SWR and the MFJ showing 50 Ohm
Thanks Stu, I will try what you say. I have heard a lot of good stuff on the Force 12 but wow, are they expensive. I have also heard about the bad caps and this weekend will check to see if I can spo
IMHO that auction site and others like it are causing the death of one of the most fun parts of HAM radio. As many of you know, if you have been to any Hamfest lately, they are getting smaller and sm

I want to hook up an Ameritron 811 to my OMNI V. Don't want to break anything so I better ask. My OMNI V book only shows how to hook up Ten Tec Amps. What RCA on back of OMNI V goes to key the Amerit
I hooked up an Ameritron AL811 to my OMNI V. I get full output on all bands but on 10 meters when I put OMNI V meter to reflected power it shows an SWR of almost 3 to 1. SWR creeps up the meter slowl
I bought an Ameritron AL811 Amp and hooked it up to my OMNI V. On 10 meters the OMNI V meter on reflected power reads a little under 3 to 1 when I tune the amp using either the tune or a pulser. My a
Seems the meter on the OMNI V may be the problem. Did more investigating since last post. High input SWR on reflected setting of OMNI V meter only takes place when I use CW mode and pulser to tune Am
If you want an NOS D104 elements you can still get them here in Tampa at a place called Jefferson Electronics 1040 W Hillsborough Ave. Tampa, Fl. Phone 813-239-2500 He also has the microphones for sa
I can hear it in my head without a rig. It is about an S9. Am I going crazy? Am I sending out the signal? Does anyone else hear it without a rig? Am I the only one? Could this be the end of N4VET? Da
