Amen. This holiday season instead of buying goods made overseas we can also support local businesses by buying gift certificates for services--an oil change, computer tune up, lawn mowing, or buy loc
My Omni VII is from the second production run. I installed several beta and every regular release of the firmware until John Henry left Ten Tec. Occasionally there was a minor glitch, but my experien
Before graduating to Ten Tec, I owned a string of Kenwood's starting with the TS 820 and ending with the venerable TS 850s -sold just a couple of years ago. I learned to tune up the band and found my
I've owned two Omni VI+'s. The first one was a '97 vintage and most boards had through the board soldered components. The TXCO was added by TT or a previous owner. My 2000 VI+ had the TXCO built in a
I feed the audio thru a Timewave DSP-59+ and an external speaker with a built in headphone jack (SP-230). This allows a separate AF volume control and narrow DSP audio filtering if necessary--it seld
Art, my Omni VI+ AF control is similarly sensitive. I use inexpensive noise canceling headphones but have found the same issue with three other pairs of cans. I now take audio off the speaker jack at
I agree. I've had some up for 15 years. Only failure I've experienced was when some pesky squirrels decided that my antenna line was impinging on their territory!! They finally chewed thru the line--
I've experienced something like this a couple of times since 2004 when I bought my first piece of Ten Tec equipment. Being able to talk directly to the tech who "specializes" in your rig, troubleshoo
InRad #762 600hz roofing filter for the Orion. This filter replaces the 1khz TT filter for CW operation. Traded in my Orion and pulled this filter last week. $55 including shipping. Please respond to
Joel, N4PY software certainly works as does Ham Radio Deluxe and MacLogger DX for Mac fans. 73, Gary W7TEA Folks, I understand that the Omni 7 (and Jupiter) use a different character format on the se
Tried responding to the original query before but used the wrong email address and 'fraid it got stuck somewhere for review. Certainly agree that hardware NB works very well. Takes out power line noi
Believe the issue was that installing the 500 or 250hz filters also enabled an additional amp which degraded performance. That is why the InRad 600hz filter was installed in the 1000hz slot. I know t
Where I see the potential personally is when I have to move from my QTH and into some retirement or assisted living facility. I'm in a CCnR neighborhood now (although expiring in two years!!!) with l

This is also the way I understand the serial number system--built January 97 or actually, scheduled to be built in January 97. Although, I thought the first production run of VI+'s was in March so it
Probably because I'm a slow plodder on the key, I notice the slow recovery on the Orion (v2059) as well. In fact, it seems no faster than my VI+ with slow AGC and delay set at 1. Some time ago N4PY n
Couple of comments-- TT posted the Omni VI specs this morning and while they seem to be better than the competition, I don't believe the close in dynamic range is greater than the VI+ and certainly n
You might read K4IA's post yesterday responding to N1VS whose screen faded in transmit. I used to get a flicker on my display when transmitting until I took his advice several months back to insure a
