I think you sort of answered your own question.... if it's in transmit but idle, plate current should be zero. Going back 10 or 12 years ago, my bias board failed and then there was about 300 ma of p
Bob, I won't agree or disagree with your comments on linearity. However, I am not sure about the 150 ma you are experiencing in the idle condition. The earlier Centurions (like mine) were notorious f

Sorry, must have been asleep for the last ten years here, but what is/are "The new and vastly improved VFO soft touch Ring and Fan kit"? The fan kit is sort of self explanatory [offered by TT?], but
Wayne, Thanks for the explanation! After the long thread on red vs orange dots on TT equipment, maybe now we can debate if the glow-in-the dark trim ring offers better contest performance than the or

Curt, You're right -- it IS too complex to be worthwhile. Therefore, I will take it off your hands for free...and even promise not to sue you. P.S. The above was said with tongue firmly in cheek. As

Or, might I respectfully suggest that you need to contact the power company, the FCC, your state Utilities Commission -- or all three -- and have them repair the problem. ____________________________
Interesting idea....and I agree that the Omni VI is MUCH too nice of a radio to let die for lack of parts. As the logic board seems to be such a key item, I wonder what it would take to produce a new
