Anybody need a power switch for Omni V--> and Paragons? Have an extra in the collection that will just go to waste here, yours free if you need it....pse reply offline. Joe N5KAT ____________________
Give-away power switch has been claimed. BTW, the TT mothership has replacement Omni/Paragon power switches for $6 + shipping. I bought one too many by mistake. 73 Joe N5KAT _________________________
After four years with no TT radio, and two years with no radios at all due to being in a PhD program with no time or space to operate, I broke down and bought an Omni V, a Paragon II, and a 544 (Trit
Turning off the display to kill all noise is a real good idea...I thought about that myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the skirt with the kc markers on it. Could probably get one though. The fact i
This is correct...the PBT does NOT function with the 6.0 filter. Man, that 6.0 filter provides some easy listening SSB when conditions permit. I put in an INRAD 2.1 and that filter sounds great also.
On a related note, I wonder whether early digital gear like Omni V ages so well. Specifically, wondering about the electrolytic capacitors. Case in point: Picked up an Omni V and the potential was th
I have a 216 RTTY filter $50 shipped. Not running RTTY at the moment so it is available. I'm good in the book or paypal to jroberts@io.com 73 Joe N5KAT _______________________________________________
I have a Omni V and Paragon II. I'd call the choice a very tough question. Theoretically/on paper the Omni is the better rig. However, I had to do a lot of work on my Omni V, specifically a recap of
For display irregularities, first order of business is to clean the power connections on the back of the rig and the contacts from the plug from the power supply with some Deoxit and pipe cleaners. M
FS: Panel Extrusion for Omni/Paragon. Bought for a Paragon but looks like it will work for Omni V and VI also. Never used...purchased from Ten Tec butin the meantime I brushed out the scratches in th
Sadly, bad audio is "normal' with the V. Painful is more like it. Yes, there is too much gain in the audio circuit, so you blow your head off by even breathing on the AF gain knob. Taper of the AF p
Look for 105 deg C, Low ESR, High Frequency caps. Find caps designed for bypass and decoupling in digital circuits--switching power supplies,logic boards, and the like. Check the Mouser catalog--I th
First order of business with any flaky Omni V behavior is to clean the DC power connectors on and to the rig. Gunk or oxidation on this connector will do things you never would attribute to a dirty p
My sense is that it is best to identify the caps one by one. There aren't really that many different values and some are more involved with digital noise bypass then others, so there are application
Steve: If you want a sure bet, pick up some Sanyo Oscon caps. These are superior quality organic polymer electrolytics: High temp, very low ESR, very long life...tantalum replacement grade and come i
There is WAY WAY too much AF gain in the Omni V. A factory recommended fix was posted on this board recently by Don K6RV on 16 Feb 08. There is also some overdrive of the product detector going on. W
to which Jerry responded... Jerry: I believe there is more than bandwidth going on here, given that I also tried the 2.1 INRAD 1st IF filter and that was "cleaner" sounding than the stock TT 2.4. Bet
Dan: This might sound disconnected, but have you tried cleaning the power supply connectors on the back of the rig and from the supply? All manner of flaky symptoms can be cleared up by doing this, i
Anybody have a schematic for the old G4PKT Omni V/VI product detector mod using the Plessey SL6440 chip? Found one chip last year and a source for a more online, so I am tempted to give it a try. I d
