I let the smoke out of my beloved Omni 6 finals. Any leads? Any parts rigs? There was a nice 6+ at Shelby, but of course mine was then working fine. Oh well. Tnx Haney k2xn
Friend Steve n4lq brought this Omni 6+ back to life. Just installed Inrad filters (a 2.8 in SSB and another in the 9 MHz if. Wow. The Orion, Drakes, Collins, etc. are silent while I take this rig for
I've checked my bookmarks a couple of times to make sure this isn't the Elecraft List. Fine radios, but I come here for Ten Tec discussions, not detailed histories of competing brands. Mike and I hav
The rig arrived right on time. Amazed at its simplicity and great receiver. Worked European stations on 20 and a few stateside ones on phone. Amazing what 10 watts will work. Never mentioned the powe
Is there such a thing as a service manual for the C II? Mine is undergoing a complete cleaning and tweaking and this information would be most valuable. I have the manual and a number of post from th

I did the reset several times before audio returned. Same problem. Chops off first dash. Back to the trusty external keyer. -- Haney Howell Rock Hill, SC
I recently wired a 4 pin mike connector and hooked it up to my Omni 5. Suspect it shorted. Have no mike audio (with a properly wired TT hand mike) and now no output on cw, which was there after the m
Only one glitch so far with my "new" Orion. When programming the keyer memory, it cuts off the first "dash" in my call every time. It doesn't do it with cq, etc. Suggestions? Haney k2xn
Delighted with my newly found 509. Only gig is a bit of a chirp (although I suspect it helps to stand out in the clutter)! Any hints on troubleshooting this gem? Haney Howell K2XN
I see in my rules and regulations that you own the frequency and that all of your members are crystal controlled. There's lots of room on 1296. Ham radio use to be fun. Haney Howell
