I remember the complex procedure when I was a novice and used an old NC-100 receiver. 1. Turn tuning until you hear hams. 2. Call CQ there. Steve N4LQ -- Original Message -- From: "Paul - W8KC" <w8kc
Yea and I bet you're one of em'. You're not foolin me. I mean anyone knows the aliens would chose a frequency that would be a harmonic of something just so they could plant doubt in our minds. Yea...
Think back. Maybe you changed something lately? Most likely it's RFI getting into your audio. Fine another rig to monitor yourself. Change from your antenna to a dummy load and see if the audio clear
Would someone please explain to me what changing the filter from 2.4khz to 2.8khz has to do with carrier balance. I see no relation. The carrier is nulled by balancing the dc voltage on U4 of the TX
Well I understand the need to adjust the carrier null but what I do not understand is the recent claims that somehow the 2.8khz filter has something to do with getting the carrier null out of adjustm
I am looking for another 250hz, 9mhz model 219 filter. I also have the RTTY/Digital filter for sale. This is the model 216 which has a 500hz BW and is centered on 9.002210mhz for proper RTTY offset.
Wow this is an oldie. The Omni VI was model 563. The Omni VI+ was model 564. Putting option 3 on a 563 makes it act just like a 564 but it is still a 563 with option 3 upgrade. Pretend that the only
Well sort of...There's lots of little things TenTec did when they came out with the 564, VI+. For example. The option caused some birdies. They cut cable 34 between the logic board and 9mhz IF and in

I've got 2 OMNI VI option 3's and neither has any VI+ badge on them. I think the decals mentioned came with the Option 1 or 2 upgrade which was intended to be performed by the user. It included stick
Maybe TenTec could help you there Deni. I know at some point, TenTec added a screw to the back center area of the bottom aluminum shield. I see bypass capacitors installed in various locations. Proba
I keep getting email from what appears to be TenTec but of course it is not and there is an attachment which of course I will not open. Has anyone else been seeing these? Steve N4LQ
I'm curious why you would put the 2.8khz filter in the N2 slot? I assume you wanted to retain the stock 2.4khz transmit bandwidth while receiving at 2.8khz? Am I on track? N4LQ
Here is the completed installation of the INRAD roofing filter. It mounts on the final amp box toward the rear, bottom of the rig. Take a look. Oh, It works too. I noticed no loss of gain or increase
Be prepared to spend about $200. Small price to pay for an Omni VI+ +. You get to choose either the SSB or CW roofing filter. The CW filter is 600hz wide. With the programing switches, you can make i
