Yes, a mic rewired for 8-pin will work fine with your Omni VII. As for the 4-pin to 8-pin adapters and 8-pim to 4-pin adapters that you see on the auction site, they would be useful if you had two tr
Both Winlog 32 and N1MM Logger are freeware (you may contribute to their effort if you like) and are excellent programs. Both should support the Omni VI series nicely Dave WA3MKB
I have 2 of the Omni VI Opt 3 and don't feel that the SSB is muddy in either one. Everybody has their own preference and will have a different opinion on that. As for the Inrad mod, I have that on my
Congratulations and welcome to our little world of TenTec. Enjoy the new rig, learn from it, and don't be bashful if we can be of any help, Dave WA3MKB
Jim, I'm not sure about the Omni VI not upgraded, but both my Opt 3's and my VI+ can adjust weighting. Check out the manual on page 3-4. It's paragraph 3-1.13 "Use the front panel KEYER SPEED control

For me, it was a matter of pure laziness. I've had 3 (or was it 4) Corsair II's. Every one was a great rig and I loved them. The dual receive with the external VFO was wonderful. However, I operate a
I put a 6N2 on 6 Meters for my first ever on that band. The antenna? 3-el homebrew Yagi. Feed system is 1/4 wave of RG-213, ends shorted, center of braid split and fed with RG-213. Slipped into split
The shortfall of any software is that it is bound to the assumptions or rules of the programmer(s). Yes, we have some wonderful antenna modeling software, but as Jerry states, the only real data is e
You see, this is what ham radio is, or at least used to be, about. The variables are so broad that there is no simple answer. So, the ham should build an 'L' network and try it and make measurements.
Bill, Excel (or any other spreadsheet can be handy for this. Make 3 columns. As you read each function in the manual, put a meaningful title in column 1. Put the Multi instructions in column 2 Put no
I have the following TenTec filters for sale: TenTec Model 282 Xtal Filter - 250 Hz at 6.3 MHz IF TenTec Model 285 Xtal Filter - 500 Hz at 6.3 MHz IF TenTec Model 288 Xtal Filter - 1.8 KHz at 6.3 MHz
According to my old TenTec literature, (Pt. No. 74089), Z-in and Z-out are each 200 ohms, the same as the 6 MHz filters. This 9 MHz document shows the same info for the 216, 217, 218 & 219 filters Da
Yes, there is a board available for just that. It is the model 257 Voice Readout Board. It will plug in to the Paragon, Paragon II, Omni V, Omni VI and Omni VI+. Any of those is an excellent high per
They show up on the famous auction site on about a monthly basis. It's always possible to put a request on this reflector or QRZ or eHam. You never know who will part with one. I let mine go that way
I find that the spark plugs plus the knife switch are the best answer. After all, if I open the switch, the SWR gets way out of range of my Omni VI+. Almost like an open circuit. Then again, you may
