Will, Let's start with the basics and check all of the internal cables on the OMNI 6 for a good conection. Re-seat all of the cables and see what happens. Good luck & 73, Dave, K2DP, St. Louis OMNI 6
Don, I have used my D-104 (vintage, stock and non-amplified version) with my Omni 6 Plus for years with great results. I would imagine that the tx audio input for the Paragon is similar to the OMNI 6
Hi Tommy, I have been using a standard, non-amplified, 25 year old D-104 on my OPMNI 6 Plus for years without any modifications or matching transformers. Works great ! Have fun and 73, Dave, K2DP, ST
OK guys, So just to fan the flames a bit, here is a very subjective , but realitively recent test I performed during this summer. I compared my Ten Tec OMNI 6+ running with the Ten Tec 1208 Transvert

Rich, 6 meters is a band for a beam. Yes, you might make some contacts with your wire antenna, however, most folks on 6 meters use a minimum of a 3 element beam at 30 feet, providing both gain and di
Hi guys, Not to drag the TT list off topic any further, but just noticed your e-mail regarding the AOC. I work at Boeing here in St. Louis on the new EA-18G program (GROWLER) which is being developed
OM's, I can assure you that running a dipole through a tree can cause RF to arc to the branches and burn/ignite a branch on the tree. It depends upon how you are feeding the antenna (coax vs open wir
HI Bob, IMHO (in my humble opinion) here's my evaluation based strictly upon operating experience and not LAB demo testing !!!! ( hi hi) I have had the Icom 756 PRO II on the table with my OMNI 6+ (F
Has anyone had a problem with the Rotary Encoder binding as you tune through the band ? Any success in lubricating it ??? I have removed the main tuning knob completely and can still feel the encoder
Thomas, I have an "Option III" (full factory upgraded ) OMNI 6+ and the only problem I have noticed with the AUX Antenna is that the switch contacts sometimes get dirty (simply from lack of use) and
Larry, I did the mod on my Omni 6 + (factory mod'd version for the 'Plus"). I have also put the INRAD SSB and CW filters into the radio. The advice from INRAD back 3-4 years ago when I did this was t
HI Charles, I have had one of these for about 7 years. Works great, but you should plan on using at least a 3-4 element 6 mtr beam for an antenna and add a Mirage 150 watt final amplifier to the stat
HI gang, I have an OMNI 6 + and that's exactly how the RF gain works on the Ten Tec OMNI 6's , which is probably the same as the Paragon. 73, Dave, K2DP -- Original Message -- From: <d.e.warnick@comc

Brian, If my memory serves me correctly, the TT 253 was only rated at 1kw pep and of course that is really dependent upon the load components that u are trying to match to 50 ohms. The specs for the
Bob, While determining that your rig can match a non-resonant antenna and thus transfer some power to it, this discussion fails to address the question of antenna efficiency and relative field streng
