You need to try it on a 50 Ohm dummy load and see if the problem persists. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunspots be with us! i have a 6-80 meter ocf on 3.906 when i speak into the
Gary, Sorry, we managed to get two different threads going under a single subject line. * Bernie started the original thread. * Paul is the OM with the SWR problem. I have moved Paul's problem to a n
THIS THREAD is about the repair of Bernie's Titan amp. Everyone is free to write about anything, but NOT HERE! (please) Bill, please repost your comment in the thread on Paul's SWR problem with the O
My advice Dan is to run a 2nd wire to control the switching. That was the first thing I did with mine. See: http://www.dj0ip.de/ten-tec-stuff/405-keying-mod/ 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany)
Gary, I once had an intermittent ceramic capacitor. It seemed to be heat sensitive; would work for about 15 minutes until the radio warmed up, then break down. I had never seen that before and never
I am very sad to inform you that our long-time member and good friend, Steve Hunt, G3TXQ passed away on Sunday, December 30th. He was one of the best technical contributors to our group and we shall
HNY everyone! One of the OM in the Scout group is requesting help, or someone to repair his Scout. He is in the Boston area. He does not want to send it to Ten-Tec. Is anyone here repairing these old
Read the manual carefully. It is well documented. You might also want to replace the dial-cord while you have it open. There are two parts, a string and a rubber part (if I recall correctly). Replace
Almost all of Rob Sherwood's test reviews are posted on my web site, here: http://www.dj0ip.de/sherwood-forest/sherwood-xcvr-tests/ I have the OM7 and O2, but I don't have a test of the O1. 73, Rick,
NOTHING, it is a good receiver, even here in our harsh European bands. Very few users actually operate the radio in a way that they could even tell a difference. Oh, I nearly forgot; there is one dif
Mike, Don't worry, you won't be in over your head. It's all very simple and certainly the very next step you should take. That way you can determine if the problem is in the final power amplifier cir
Hi Greg, I have a fairly comprehensive set of old Ten-Tec manuals. My 563 manual dated 2/1994 shows the 81602. The 564 manual shows the same board. So I checked the old Omni V (562). It has an 81462
Barry, About 8 or 9 years ago, Scott gathered up all of the old manuals he could find at the plant and sent them to James, K8JHR. James had a very expensive, fast scanner. He scanned in all of the ma
I honestly can't recall when I bought my first 563. I bought my 562 (OM-5) early in 1990. Our only hope is that someone with a very early version checks his/her manual and discovers the earlier IF/AF
Found the manual. It was at the very bottom of the stack. It say "Preliminary Manual, OMNI VI 563" And is dated "April, 1992". It spells out the word "April" rather than printing 4/92. Unfortunately
Ya mean we wuz huntin' a Snipe, Barry? (hi) 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunspots be with us! Thanks Bob. This clears up the mystery. Greg (and everybody), the 81597 is the TX AUD
Yes, that is an exotic request. I have almost every manual that Ten-Tec ever produced... but not that one. I probably have the best archive in existence... a few GB. But I have no way of uploading so
I cannot upload to the cloud. If I could, I would just place it on my own web site. Too much data and my Internet upload speed is way too slow. I have several gigabytes of Ten-Tec files. When I attem
Hi Mike, I live lightyears away from any place that would have bandwidth, and I haven't got 5 minutes of time right now. Trying to finish up some Spiderbeam projects requiring outdoor measurements, b
