If your Astron 35 amp supply is running too hot running an Eagle, better check the current draw that your Eagle is pulling. Its POSSIBLE that the Eagle has an issue that is causing it to draw too muc
I received an Omni 6+ for repair, no tuning capability. The fault was in the 5.0 to 5.5 MHz PLL, which was out-of-lock. I checked the reference, which was OK and dead-on frequency. I checked the leve
Well I certainly did not charge the customer for the added time - it was a warranty repair. I also learned from the experience so, to some extent, it was worth the time spent. I WISH I could get peop
Well, I charge $80 per hour. However, with the occasional tough dogs, I limit the repair cost at an upper amount, based on the radio. In the case of an Omni 6 or similar, that limit is $250. Orions (
As I TRIED to point out on the CCA reflector a year or so ago, generally speaking, alignment is a very poor way to correct radio problems, and I KNEW that. It was my creed! For my rather strong prefe
Please explain this issue a bit more. I am not clear of the meaning of the description "clicks for each number . Do you mean you hear a click in the speaker or what? Dose the radio otherwise work on
Likely your issue is in the synthesizer circuit or, more likely a capacitor somewhere in the power supplies. The lack of lock condition would allow significant receiver noise but the Loss of Lock err
Sorry, I misread I was focussed on a previous radio (a Paragon). Your problem is most certainly due to the fact that the 5.0 to 5.5 MHz PLL is going out of lock. This model does not produce any out-o
OK, I am involved in three threads regarding Paragons, Omni 5s and Omni 6s so I have gotten some crosstalk If you select a filter position on your radio that has no filter in it, do you still hear th
Excellent points indeed! Especially the part mentioning "different budgeting after retirement"! However, it is not a slam dunk that Ten Tecs new entry (if one is in the offing) would need to be a big
I still repair Ten Tec, Collins and Drake radios I have piles of Ten Tec parts, a fair amount of Collins parts and a small pile of Drake parts. I am not fast but generally my repairs work. I dont do
I am in need of a 5.0 to 5.5 PLL Board for an Omni VI. The one I have has multiple problems. Does anyone have one that is known working? I am not looking for a handout and am willing to pay rational
Likely the conversion scheme is different on 40. Instead of subtracting in a mixer of the PTO and crystal as it does on most bands, it adds on 40 so tuning goes the opposite direction. The counter pr
On 160 meters, the PTO (5.0 to 5.5 MHz) adds to the 5.8 MHz crystal to produce 10.8 to 11.3 MHz. The the 9.0 MHz IF is subtracted from this signal to receive the incoming signal (2.3 to 1.8) MHz. On
The Corsair II automatically selects the most popular sideband for a given band. Thus, one automatically gets USB on the higher bands and LSB on the lower bands when you are set to the SB-N position.
