My frustration with the fast tuning rate on my Ten-Tec Omni 6+ RIT function finally exceeded my "I should do something about this" threshold last night during the CW Sprint contest. I just changed th

Chas, Changing the "ANN" function under hidden menu #1 from "ALL" to "OFF" did the trick. This is the annunciation beep function that causes the unit to emit a short beep when any of the front-panel
When I operate SSB with my OMNI 6+ I get random beeping in audio output during my voice transmissions which comes and goes. I find it very distracting and would like to get rid of it. Has anyone else
My Question is - Should I just order a new board from TT? Sure -- provide some stimulus to the economy! That's the only good reason to do it. Every Ten Tec amp I've ever seen will get to full power
Jim, That table could be very misleading without a lot more info. For example, is it showing the total loss, or the "excess SWR loss"? What type of cable is it for? And what length? At what frequenc
oes not compute! 1 KW forward and 1/2 KW reflected says 1.5/.5 = 3:1 SWR, not 6:1. E.G. SWR = (forward + reflected) / (forward - reflected). 6:1 SWR is 71.45% reflected, 1.7145/0.2855.. What that ta
LOL. I guess the impedance matching is only a side-effect of the "ass kicking" :-) :-) Mike, W4EF........................ You might consider the internal tuner if it is anything like the one I have i
Hope this isn't stretching the limits on off-topic posting: I'm considering buying a small eu1000 Honda 1000w generator to (among other things) run my Jupiter with a switching power supply and my la
Folks, I seem to have a new problem with my Paragon. It transmits spurs 600 Hz above and below the carrier about 10 to 20 dB down from the carrier. This was reported to me by someone using the spect
Hi Joel, You'll notice from the pictures on the link I posted that the spur content was a function of frequency as you might expect from a multi-loop synthesizer. You might want to check several diff
I am selecting which of my transceivers to take to Field Day with the choices either my Corsair II or my Omni-VI+. You would think this to be a slam dunk decision in favor of the newer radio. Howeve
I just finishing rebuilding my Drake L7 and I would like to use it with my Ten Tec Orion. Can I connect the Orion's AMP1 connection directly to the L7 VOX RELAY line or do I need an external keying i
Hi All, I just ordered an INRAD roofing filter kit for my Omni 6+. Initially I specified the INRAD 765 (centered on 500 Hz offset), but now I am wondering if I wouldn't be better off with the 763 (75
Mike, it depends much on which filter you have installed for CW in the N1 or N2 position. If you've got a TenTec #221, that provides the best match with the INRAD #765 as they both have center freque
I think the point being missed here by one of the posters is that if the feedline is really excellent....like the 1/2 inch Heliax, or perhaps 450 ohm transmitting ladder line, or less radically, per
Based on average antenna heights above ground for the average ham location, for a 1/2 wave antenna operated on an even harmonic, the feed Z is typically in the order of 1000 to 1500 ohms. In theory,
((Some content deleted)) Your point is that the better the feedline, the lower the losses, and open wire feedline is best. All true and I totally agree. The point is, if you use the very best feedli
