I think you will love the scout.. It always gets rave reviews in the club presses. You can probably find a good deal out here somewhere, and the good news is that people like them so much they usuall
OK, I now have a pretty good working program... About 90% of the time it is right on the nose as to displaying on the PC what is going on with the Omni. The other 10% of the time the FREQ is totally
Of course 2 minutes after I sent that message my brain kicked in, I think I have it solved now.. Looks like there is residual data (of a crummy nature) in the rig the very first time I go request the

I will tell you that setting the freq via the interface acts very strange. I get it to work, and it reports a very invalid frequency when it returns. The front panel of the Omni looks fine, but it is
Hmmmmmmmmm Well, now that I am an EXPERT on OMNI VI command set (yeah, RIGHT!) I can tell you there is simply nothing to it. I wrote a Visual BASIC program that is a simple software controller for th
Nah, that's not the problem, The manual is actually being compiled in Toronto and they keep blowing the 128meg of memory every time they tack the EH? onto each statement... Sorry, I couldn't resist..

Ok, All of you die hards out there (I know you know who you are)... I am working on my Omni VI+ interface program and I noticed something.. There seems to be NO way to control RIT or XIT from softwar
That is what I thought.. I really have no qualms about the Kenwood or the Icom/TenTec formats, I just wish TenTec would update the ROMS to add some of the other functions... -- 73's KA5PPX - Robert M

Ummmm Insurance? Speaking of such, I have seen some ads in QST, anybody care to comment on how well/poorly their insurance carrier seems to be working? How about the price of an average premium? What
I noticed on the 705, that the VOX switch on the bottom of the mic MUST also be in VOX mode... So, on my Omni Vi+ the configuration to run VOX is Vox mode on Omni lit (on), 705 mic switch on bottom s
Vince, You got me.. I went over to the rig just now, and, the PTT/VOX switch on the bottom seems to make zero difference... Hmmm wonder why I thought that before... And, now I wonder why that switch

OK, SO now I guess I get to play my most successful role again, the dingbat... I have a 217 and a 218 filter (217 in slot #1, 218 in #2) The jumper for 217 is between 1 and 2 as per the manual. The j
