Even the Omni C should not be used to transmit on 17 meters. See the list archives for Steve Ellingtons's post dated March 23, 2000 9:35 PM detailing the technical reasons. 73, John W0DC
Hi Jerry, I've had problems with the Omni VI mixer (and a replacement) getting so hot in the stock circuit that it became microphonic, necessitating backing off the RF gain to prevent ringing. Others
Hi Yuri, What the heck is this subject line?? IMHO, DX contests are won by stations who can copy weak stations that are Adjacent To Strong Stations. (i.e. EU stations running 5 watts to indoor dipole
Hi Ken, A couple of years ago, Ten Tec recommended I replace C15, a 5 kV doorknob, with a 15 kV 400 pF doorknob to make the Titan's tuning more stable on 160. I bought the capacitor from Ten Tec and
GM! Late model Titan's like Don's may well have left the factory with a 15 kV (vs. 5 kV) doorknob cap for C15. In the earlier Titans, there was major tuning drift on 160 meters. (the band Ken, the or
Thanks Ed! John W0DC I have not found any source of connectors yet, the coax is available from some sources. I have a small instrument lathe, may have to make the connectors? It would be great to get
Hi Anthony, I noticed the same thing with my Omni VI a few years ago. (My Omni V didn't have the noise ramp-up problem) It turned out to be the high level mixer getting hot. (VERY hot to the touch) W
Hi Ken, Do you happen leave your RS-35M on all the time? I don't have a "V" (wish I did!), however, perhaps a couple have a problem maintaining the memories when DC is removed. 73, John W0DC I have h
The last rebuild kit I bought from Ten Tec was in 2001 and it contained green (?axle?) grease. I haven't heard of people using Lubriplate in PTO's, however, I do know of hams NOT happy with it's long
Hi Carter, I don't see much of a difference between e-mailed ads and the for-sale s in newspapers or on physical bulletin boards. He or she who checks most frequently and shows up with the money firs
True....but you do have to worry about the guys that buy the early edition of the Sunday paper on Saturday evening around 5:30 PM! (and every day with people that get the "paper" electronically) 73,

Phil, Have you noticed that your Corsair's frequency shifts a bit when your nose gets real close to the tuning knob? I'd recommend using white gas and Crisco next time you do the rebuild. Hardly any
Hi Tom, Aren't the crystal frequencies in the CW filters much different than those in the SSB filter? I always thought that the crystal frequencies were the main determinants of the bandwidth. The sp
