The Omni VI+ relay (not the external amp one) is plenty audible. Okay, I tried real hard, and yes I can hear the little reed relay in my Omni. I have to turn the receive audio down to zero, and then
Hi Dan, It is likely that it will not make a difference, however having the test gear between the transmitter and the impedance matching unit would be my preference. Here's why: When you have your im
Hi Adam, It depends on how you define "works better". If you define "works better" as: using the minimum bandwidth, getting through the noise better, being decodable using using just a receiver and a
That's only because the K1/K3 don't do weight properly. Weight should be the ratio between the dit and dah length, not "on vs off" time in each element. 73, Duane I have always heard the "weight" ad

This is from the latest "used demo list" from Ten-Tec that I have seen posted on this reflector: 563/OPT3 Omni-VI factory upgrade to Omni-VI Plus $1395 564 Omni-VI Plus $1695 Nowhere in the message d
Either I have a few burned out LED lights ..... Assuming the lights are burned out, does anyone know a part number for replacement bulbs and is it just a pop the front panel operation? They are not l
Hi Bob, The reasons for transmit frequency to be different from receive frequency are as numerous as are transceiver designs. In many tranceivers the BFO is shifted in transmit mode and the balanced
Read the specs on your Astron. An Astron 20 is NOT rated 20 amps continuous, but an Astron 35 is. Isn't marketing wonderful? Well, at least with the Astron stuff the specs are the specs and the model
If I could double my signal, as inexpensively as burying 60 extra pieces of the old wire I have laying around, I would most certainly do it in a heartbeat. If you've got the money and are willing to
The "nulls" are not really null. In my case, the southern null points at west MS, east TX, and I work everyone who is on there in the contests. Signal strengths are equal in the "nulls", regardless o
Joe HT....Another term I have heard is "the shack on a belt crowd"....I say if they are having fun with radio, good for them. There are all kinds of hams. Some can tell the difference in real perform
Why I use Ten-Tec rigs: First a list of rigs I have had before Ten-Tec: 1) Hammarlund BC-779 and two tube TX with plugin coils, built from 1968 handbook plans. 2) Heath SB-301 & SB-401, bought used,
I understand that Drake is finished with the R4, but a lot of hams are not. I understand that Yaesu is finished with most every radio after it leaves the factory, clicks or no. I understand that Ten-
A JA manufacturer fixing known problems in a whole production run of a rig, instead of only one at a time only after the buyer complains? That really is news!
I know some of the older generation are vehemently against putting up with any little glitches etc. that are common in most computer defined electronics of ALL kinds today. Well, maybe I am one "of t
Hi Mike, There are many radios that have much better performance than the Drake 2b / 2BQ Heath DX-60 / HG-10, and do not get "stuck" and require rebooting or power cycling to start working again. So
It shouldn't have to be a choice between performance and reliability in the price ranges of today's radios. You should get BOTH, "Right out of the box". I'll go back to observing threads now. 73. Tod
