I run my Omni V on all digital modes, including PSK31. It will run 100W RTTY into a well-behaved antenna without problem. You will probably find that CAT (computer assisted tuning) won't work with th
I had warble problems on my Corsair II. I got the rebuild kit from TenTec and did it in about 2 hours. The grease in it was all hardened and black, so it certainly needed it. It didn't cure the warbl
I've never seen deep grooves worn into the races. Given the fact that the assembly is lubricated, I imagine it would take an enormous amount of use to do that, especially since the relatively soft pl

I'm not exactly happy with the Jones filter on my Argonaut II. a) the centre of the bandpass shifts up frequency (on USB) when I tighten the bandpass width b) the narrowest width setting is about 700
Most of what I do is CW or digital, so as narrow as 200Hz would do RTTY, MFSK and PSK31 as well. In CW which I operate mostly I have found for the tone I listen to ( about 700 Hz ) I set the PBT abou
I have noticed in the last month or so that the display on my Omni V.9 freezes up after about 20 minutes operation. Recently it has got worse and the display is frozen when I switch on the rig. Rotat
Ron is correct. The Jones filter works quite well in the Scout Gotta know how to play with your toys Ron K3MIY So how come the Jones filter gets such a poor reputation in the Argonaut II/Delta II? B
73, Mike Yes, there's one here in the UK, called AOR UK, would you believe? The service guys in TenTec USA reckon it's most likely a faulty optical encoder, so I'll order one up and do it myself. 73

Perhaps the relay is blocked in some way. Just a thought. Mark I don't use a linear with my Omni V: 100W is fine for me for datamodes and CW. I got fed up with the relay making all that noise so I pu
