I have the subject rig. The intermod was intermittant. It took a looong time to figure out it was being caused by channel 23 or 29 (I can't remember) about 7 miles from me. My antenna is a Butternut
I've listened to many Omni VI and VI+ rigs over the years and none had "thumps" in the sidetone using fast QSK. I used the same cans on each. None had been modified to eliminate wierd noises in the s
Pete recently posted regarding roofing filter installation in the Omni VI+. I'm tired, but I believe there were a few errors in that post. My Omni VI, opt. 3, has a dedicated LP LED and the LP filter
I spent a couple hours using a local ham's Orion at his shack. I ran CW at 40 wpm. I heard no relay noises. Using either the speaker or my Sony Walkman cans, the QSK was virtually free of clicks and
I'm catching up on e-mails. Put a wide and a narrow in your lowest IF. Skirts are best there. I use a 500 and a 250 from TT. Cascading a pair of 500s or 250s doesn't help selectivity much. I can do t

In the last TT digest, a 280 was listed fs twice, once out of sequence, by David Reynolds, K6RWF. My e-mail to him bounced. QRZ lists K6RWF to Russel Brown. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone
I agree with Ken on the internal keyer. There's nothing wrong with it. It works and sounds just like all the other Iambic B keyers I own. There are certainly no timing problems/differences and no sh
Catching up on e-mail. I'm tired of people dissin' the internal keyer in this rig. I've used it from day one from 10 to 45 wpm with a Bencher paddle in Iambic mode B. I only work CW. The keyer works
