Found the menu option :) Hi, I'm at WØS a Special Event Station remembering the efforts of the Radio Officers on the Titanic 98 years ago. See www.wzeros.com or www.titanicbranson.com. I have my Omn
?Evening, I?m curious if any of you have added a Timewave 599ZX to an Option 3 or Omni VI Plus, and if you did, did it make for a considerable improvement or was it somewhat redundant? I live in an o
Hey Gang, Today before work I turned on my Titan and went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. When I came back the amp was dead; its fuses are blown. I believe I was gone for at least three minutes
The responses have confirmed what I was already thinking/my gut was telling me. I guess I was hoping some fount of wisdom would show me why replacing the fuses at this point made some sense! Stua
Jerry, Thanks for the overview on how you would approach this. I knew I could count on this group for sound direction. I won't work with the HV exposed; not my skill level. I will discharge, and disc
For those wondered about Ten-Tec's opinion: Dear Art: Folks on the reflector are correct. Fuses do not blow for no reason. Better to find the real problem than to blow a $500 transformer. 73, P
Details, details...what does running like a dream mean? Well Gentlemen and morine, I have good news because of all the helping hands on this reflector and the expertise of the previous owner Frank k
Well the fix is to comply with the Omni VI and cease operating SSB in favor of CW. I think it's just trying to tell you something. Art, KØRO When I operate SSB with my OMNI 6+ I get random beepin
As a former Pegasus owner I second the motion. In some ways a more enjoyable rig than my Omni VI, but not in all. Art, KØRO The best bang for the buck is to find a used Pegasus for $500. Carl Moresch
Well a Pegasus is pretty much the same animal, for less than your budget. I'm not sure you'd find a Jupiter for your budget. At least to me it's not worth $500 or so for the buttons, but that's me. A
Excellent observations Puck. I run an Option III with the lower center frequency CW roofing filter, and the 221 lower CF 250hz N2 filter and love it...but the NR on it is just not what it can be on a
The one item I might add to this discussion, having owned a Pegasus and now owning an Omni VI, Option 3, and having put good time on other radios such as a TS-870SAT, 756Pro 3, and K3: Identify you
Great observations. Thanks for sharing them. Now...if I sell my Omni VI.... I owned a Corsair II, and really loved it. I did need to rebuild the PTO, and lubed it with "Phil Grease". IT is used for b
OK, now for the rest of us who either think of a man who wouldn't let a steam drill beat him out, or a song of the same name for those who like a well-picked banjo... Who is John Henry? Thanks, A
Wonderfu news then. So I may be looking at an orange or red dot when it's time to replace my Omni VI then. For a CW-only op who likes contests...it's hard to replace this rig with the lower CF ro
One other reason to discontinue the Omni VI is the improvements made to DSP since the Option 3 or 564 came out. I have the Inrad CW roofing filter centered on 600 hz (not 750) and the 221 filter (ce
James, Given the superior DSP in the O-VII compared to the O-VI, that's an awfully hearty endorsement and I appreciate it. The O-VI has a low pass audio DSP filter and a peaking filter as well, b
Hi, It looks like the 10hz indicator on my RIT/XIT readout has died and is no longer illuminated. The searchable archives kept returning too many results. Offhand, does anyone have experience with th
I'm wondering if W4QA is the next logical owner... Previous owner: W4OA Current Owner: W4PA Just makes sense, right? I was surprised to see Scott working in the contests though after all the publ
