Thank you Jerry and Steve, I was figuring 70-ish at the feed point based upon what I could find about vee-beams. Here in W. WA we are going to point it at 80 deg magnetic for field day. We have a ver
If you want to move it down the road REALLY quit it will sell really fast at that price. Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA I am wondering what a fair price for a good used Omni VI & PS/Speaker would be. I
Rob, I have not seen a problem such as this with my 6 (opt 3). Interesting. I will confirm tonight. Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA I noticed something interesting for the first time about my Omni 6 opt
Don't be too quick to blame the "6". Much to my sha-grin I discovered a problem with my "6" was actually a problem with the bypass contacts of T/R relay in my Clipperton L RF Power Amplifier. I recen
Hi Jim, I would very like to purchase that INRAD 400 Hz #753 filter for the 9 MHz IF. Would you take $75 +$5 for shipping? Thanks, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA Hello everyone, I'm going to have some
No kidding - 2 OMNI VI+'s for sale in one day. Interesting... kind like the TS-850's. Neal, I found the comments regarding the drop in replacement chips encouraging. I have saved that message and cur
I just picked up a 1st IF 400Hz InRad Filter. Checked my OMNI VI manual and it says follow the instructions included with the filter. That helps a lot if you have those instructions. HI HI. When I pu
Neal, My OMNI VI with OPT 3, it is not a VI+. I have been monkeying around with the DIP switch on the INRAD roofing filter cca and the jumper next to the "narrow filter". It seems as though the OEM n
John 'CQ and John 'RE, Good points guys. I do have the TT 250Hz CW Filter in the 2nd IF. Which pretty much matches what John has described. I do notice that things are reasonable using the INRAD Roof
Very nice job Jerry. 73, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA I use an external speaker passive low pass filter to tone down high frequency howling in my receiver audios when needed. I have a couple circuits
Yep, Even with the LP is set to 600Hz the receiver still howls. And, no I have not done an alignment. Yes, the VI "should be tough to beat" especially with a full load of filters AND the INRAD roofin
OK, so I am looking at the OEM TenTec Filters in my Omni 6 and they are matched crystals (I assume) on a piece of G10 circuit board material. I look at the INRAD filters and they are inside a nice Fa
Ditto what Jerry said. To do such a mod without a change to the output tank circuit is reckless. Nice power supply redesign effort but unfortunately this job is only half done (or baked). Hams have a
This past week someone posted a note and mentioned they were using a Elecraft XV50 6M Transverter with their OMNI 6 (I think). Anyways I have lost the message, I have some questions regarding the hoo
I think a "very fine hair" is being split here. When this "hair" is measured in dB units instead of linear units the loses become insignificant. While yes the old balanced match boxes are technically
I would be more interested in actual measurements than theoretical calculations. Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA If you do the thermal calculations on the cores commonly used in these chokes you'll find
I was wondering about thermal measurements (temperature rise) since everyone here seems to be fretting about power losses and burning up magnetics, wirewond inductive elements and band switches. Don
