Thanks, men! I found and bought a Omni VI+ with that exact filter configuration leaning towards CW, yesterday afternoon. My Omni VI Opt.3 is on the way back from Sevierville. It was checked over very
Rather than hope whoever it was sees this one of these days, or maybe sells it before that, you can search for it in the archives: http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/ 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen
It sounds to me as if the recent retirement of the founding, and presumably only, shareholders is behind this. They needed a way to liquidate their investment and provide for management going forward
In these smaller private transactions, the acquiring entity usually controls that. Nothing sinister, I suspect. The retired shareholders wanted to take their equity off the table, and hopefully also
I've never seen anything in amateur radio as a business that would attract the attention or interest of Berkshire Hathaway. Almost all the potential customers are cheapskates, for one thing. It's har
There are lots of ways to structure such a transaction, depending on the wants and needs and negotiating prowess of the parties. I think we can safely assume that either or both Tentec owners, now re
It won't be easy, and never has been. If you are in the business, you have to regard the appearance of $39 dual band h/t's with disquietude, because once you start seeing $100 h/f transceivers, it wo
I bitched and moaned for years about all the income taxes I was paying while living in California, a lot more than many people make in a year. I inadvertently came across a sure fire, 100% legal way

By "converter" do you mean merely a cable with the appropriate connectors or is there a "black box" device somewhere? The terminology is confusing to me, I guess. On the 706 the Icom CIV cable used f
OK. Thanks for that explanation. I'll take the plunge and get one. As I understand it, the Omni VI+ doesn't work with HRD or some of the other software packages, K4PY etc. Any problems like that to a

I made the mistake of peering into the Code not long ago. If you are not a technical person, an engineer say, it might as well have been written in an obscure dialect of Urdu. I then made the further
Win-EQF is a logging program, recommended to me by my brother W5DV for simplicity. It costs about $50 or so. http://www.bitwrap.no/web/index.php?id=eqf 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen
While perusing eHam for another topic, I ran across this article which I share to provoke comments. http://www.eham.net/articles/21383 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen
I'd be happy if you tell me how to ground an antenna sitting outside on the dirt. What we need is for a real engineer to tell a pseudo engineer so the pseudo engineer can write it up so the rest of u
I think you misread the smiley face at the end of the post you are replying to. There is no way on God's Green Earth a business would consider moving to either CA or NJ, or NY to lower their taxes! 7
