Well...it was new in the box... and the buyer is Joe Walsh. Royalties sure are a good thing! _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.con
Actually makes me think of working the graveyard shift at K5GO for CQWW... "out all night and sleep all day, I know what you're doing" However...what I'm doing has more to do with homebrewing...and n
I run the 706MKIIG in my 2000 Taurus and thought I did not have a noise problem...but in reality it was the NB on the 706 masking it. My solution was to bond all doors, hood and trunk to frame; tailp
"So you NEVER get excited and shout when chasing DX, so never drive the PA to clipping??? If that never happens you are one cool ham." What's shouting? Is that when I hit the paddle a bit harder? ;)
OK, you can all stop laughing...but I am hoping to find someone who wants to part with the 221 9mhz "lower" CW filter. Surely somebody finds it too low! Will pay cash, or trade a 219 filter plus cash
Hi All, My XYL gave me an Omni VI Opt. 3 for my birthday (let's not ask which one...). What seems to be the best hook up cable? DB25 to DB9? Or the use of a serial to USB with level converter, like t
None who are like her. When I met her, she not only had her own drill, but even a snake for pulling wire. She's even offered to do the walking around the attic to run the 240 for the Centurion and se
And she encourages me to contest at K5GO (www.k5go.com) and go down there to help with antenna installation...and has been known to rub my shoulders while I pound brass! _____________________________
Hi All, On my Omni VI the AF gain is very sensitive, going from essentially no output to more than I'd really like in a few degrees...with a sweet spot in between I can hit with some effort. FYI, I a
Hi All, Do you know what the thread is for the Ten Tec ground connection on a Centurion? The one I got did not have one...I picked up a 10-24 wingnut and to my surprise it did not fit, but it does no
Just in case there are any new readers or someone has trashed their Omni V or VI... WTB 221 CW filter, 250hz BW, 500hz offset, for the 9mhz IF. Thanks! Art, K0RO _____________________________________

Mike has the solution, but of course it requires a straight key, bug or external keyer. But it wokrs. K0RO _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com ht
Agree, Dennis. I had told my XYL about a VI Plus that was available which she got me for my birthday. It turned out to be an Option 3. Not SMT, different oscillator, some claim different "birdie" pro
Well...it was my brother....it's in very good shape...and she got it for about $300 less than they (Opt 3's, with same filters/ps, etc) usually go for...and he's not a Ten Tec aficionado, just someon
Hmmm, it's safer for me to have that illusion removed early on before any damage is done... _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.cont
I haven't played with this (I don't even know if the Omni VI does CW-R but don't think so) but my quick solution would be an "A=B" on the VFO switch and then set the second VFO for CW...the one thing
Hey All, I have a friend who's been invited to work a contest either this weekend or next weekend where the station owner just installed an Orion II. My friend (N5DX) has never operated one and will
I haven't tried this but want to "compare" noises: recently purchased a Centurion and the relay seems to buzz a bit as it switches...I too am wondering if it is how it is mounted mechanically. It is
