I would try listening to myself in another receiver as I made a few changes. This will help you get a feel for what others are reporting. If this reveals nothing, I would obtain another rig and see h
I second that emotion. I've had the Omni V, Paragon and two Omni VI's and my conclusion is that the older TT rigs sound better on cw and none of them sound very good on ssb. The cut off point for thi
Old TenTec's don't use post-AGC audio filters. They use pre-AGC audio filters. It's hard to tell the difference between their af filter and an IF filter. It's sorta like these new DSP radios with the

Steve: I have one resistor from an Omni VI. The rest of the rig is missing. Would this be of interest? Just a little work and you'll have her back to normal.
I'm setting here looking at my Kenwood and TenTec equipment wondering what all the fuss is about color. The Kenwood is two shades of gray. The Delta is a olive gray. The Omni C is black and chrome an

Tim. Don't even think about tearing that pto down without haveing the instruction sheet right in front of you. Wait until it arrives! Every moving part must come out and be degreased. I soak mine in
When selling something something on the reflector, the only fair way is to post your price and take the first buyer. I have not and will not participate in a private auction via email. If I'm selling
