Not any more. It's 24 cents a throw, if you can handle it. (It's cheaper still to work DX and use the QSL bureau.) I should check into that - I've always sent direct to guys who really want 'em. Int
hi, I have an Omni 6 that works fine in every way except a slight drift on 160 meters. Every 2 seconds it drifts downward about 20hz and then comes back to the original frequency, then drifts down ag
Speaking of logic chips... I've got an Omni VI Opt 1 that is in need of some TLC. I'm thinking about sending it to TenTec for them to go through and bring it back to its prime. A couple questions: 1.
I know several of you fellows have already put roofing filters in your Omni 6's has anyone tried the roofer with out a narrow filter in the 9 mz slot? Would be interested in how it performed. Thanks
I'm happily enjoying the performance of the INRAD roofing filter kit for the Omni VI. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and ease of installation. First off, for anyone concerned
hi - i'm just now catching up on email as i've been extremely busy at work and taking care of a very-energetic 4 month old baby - hi But to answer your question as to why I do not have any filters in
Yep - this is quite common, especially as you go lower in frequency. I could trip mine with about 300 watts on 160m. 1500 on 80m and never had enough suds to trip it on 40 or higher bands. 73 Jason N
The centurion is ready to transmitt (if already tuned up) in a few seconds from cold, probably 10 seconds or less. You can transmit within 3 seconds of power on but shucks, it seems like all that po

Will a Kenwood MC-50 Microphone work well with the Jupiter? We have two of these, and they are very nice microphones. The MC050 is a dynamic microphone, and can be wired for both low and high Z conn
Hardcoded values should instead be user-tweakable settings - if the fix for this winds up being the modification of a hard coded value I would be P.O.ed. 73 Jason N1SU
The mailing list doesn't have QSK capability. My understanding of the subject is, the transceiver won't send RF until it knows the amp is ready for it as a means to prevent clipped dits and fouled re
Guys, I am thinking of getting an Omni VI+. I do 90 % SSB, very little CW. Is this a great SSB radio (I know folks love them for CW)? I work a lot of DX, some DX contesting The Omni VI+ transmits 1.
All you guys who report about the great audio reports you receive on ssb with the Omni 6 series please tell me what microphones or microphone hook ups you are using. I recently purchased an Omni 6 a
Thanks to all you guys who responded to my query about the best mic setup for the Omni 6 -- one more thing -- the Tentec mic is amplified (because it uses a battery) -- does that mean I should try a
For my money, I'd try kerosene or gasoline for soaking out old grease gunk off of parts. I'd use a covered coffee can to seal or I'd leave it either outside or in the garage. Fumes....... M.E.K. shou
For the Omni VI is there an easier way to turn on and off the Linear Control Relay without having to press LOCK, then choose 1, then ENTER a few times to toggle the option on or off? Is it possible t
