Ken, I have an Omni 6+, not a Jupiter so I'm not sure how it's constructed, but is it possible to just pull out the EPROM chip (or even the card the chip is on) and send that to TT rather than the en
Bill, I've experienced the same problem with my Omni 6+ 250 Hz filter in the past. It most likely has nothing to do with a defective filter or the narrow bandpass (although anything can go bad). The
Well group, I'm probably just getting grumpy in my old age and /or have too much time on my hands. Anyway, here is my pet peeve: When someone is selling something on this reflector, many times it is
Well, at least for my Centurion (I'm the second owner, amp built in '93 or '94 [?]), the answer is: yes and no. It all depends on how you define "in-rush protection". To my understanding, that phrase
<snip> <snip> OOoooooh, nooooo. It sounds like Joe is saying that the Jupiter is more susceptible to RF than the ICOM. I hope this is not a portent of things to come with the Orion... 73/Carter/K8VT
Always good advice!!! :-) I agree... I disagree. My Omni 6+ is very susceptible to RF. Yes, I have 450 ohm ladder line coming into the shack and yes there are unequal currents flowing in each leg (i.
In theory, you are absolutely right; however, in practice, (unless you are very lucky), it is almost never balanced. One end is closer to a tree or a fence or a roof or whatever. There is darned litt
Mike, Whoever told you that had to be pulling your leg, right? I don't know about Easy Off specifically, but in general, oven cleaners are EXTREMELY strong and used to contain lye (nasty stuff). Thin
Preamble/Disclaimer: Before you turn on your flame throwers, I love TT and have been a (mostly-see below) happy owner of an Omni VI+ (Option 3) and Centurion since 1994 and will most likely upgrade t
No, you're not alone. You say "ostentatious", I say "tacky". Definitely NOT the look for a $3300 radio. You and Ron are right on the mark. At the very least, lose the gold (or silver) trim. At best--
I vote "no" for a built in tuner (really a "trimmer"). In addition to the cost and space, two problems come to mind with internal tuners: 1) Limited matching range. Most internal "tuners" can match f
Gee, Steve...sorry I hit such a raw nerve and generated all that sarcasm. As you have chosen to reply in a public forum, I will do the same. Been using an Omni 6 since 1994 and have never blown a fus
Why??? Serendipity??? I've never owned an Elecraft nor am I planning on getting one (so no ax to grind), just read various favorable reviews. You've piqued my curiosity as to how being careless can
I'm probably wrong, but I think many of us believed (or hoped) that at least part of the reason for this "pre-introduction" release was done exactly TO generate comments and feedback before everythin
May I ask why? My calculator shows about 1.7 db difference between 100 and 150 watts, about one quarter of an S-unit. Driving an amplifier? My 100 watt Omni drives the TT Centurion (2 X 3-500) to ful
"Ripple" is not to be confused with "regulation", which seems to be happening here... REGULATION is the 60 mv droop you are seeing between no load and full load. RIPPLE is the 60 Hz (half-wave rectif
C'mon guys, let's get back to reality. Please read carefully. This was started by a reader of the reflector (as a joke), NOT TT. Now some are taking it as true. A beautiful example of how rumors star
