Several years ago, perhaps 1998, there was available a special CW filter (I'm not sure whether at 250 or 500 Hz bandwidth) possibly sold under the auspices of N4PY to lower the CW note in the Omni ri

About a year ago on this reflector, Bill Tippett, W4ZV, gave away one of his secrets for copying weak-signal CW, namely using very low pitch (below about 450 Hz). Since then, I've installed the Ten T

For several weeks now, I've noticed a pronounced reduction in gain of my Omni 6 after it has been on for a while. When I first turn on the rig, I get an s meter reading of s-2 to s-3 on antenna noise
"What I did to my Omni 6 is pull the speaker and install a small muffin fan in its place, as well as a second fan on the rf brick heat sink. A 50 ohm resistor in each fans B+ lead keeps the fan noise
Someone on this reflector expressed an interest in a 40m vertical dipole. I recently acquired the Force 12 Sigma 40XK "manual band change" vertical dipole which covers 40 thru 10 meters. It's cheaper
This is the high-pitch model (700 Hz offset), complete with brand new INRAD kit (cables and standoff insulators) and instructions for installing in your Omni 6 or 6+. Will sell for $125.00 or trade f

Several people have asked me about this topic, so I thought I should share my experience on the reflectors. Keep in mind I operate CW almost exclusively. I now have the "low pitch" CW roofing filter
The roofing filter has been used in my Omni 6 since early January, and works great. It has the INRAD 763 CW filter (9000.7 Khz CF and 600 Hz BW) installed on the board. The filter comes with instruct

Jerry, My Omni VI knob has too much drag, and I can't seem to reduce it. In addition, the knob has begun to make a horrible vibration noise every ten turns or so, especially when I spin it fast. I'm

This should be of interest to Omni VI and VI+ users who are planning to use the INRAD roofing filter mod. Dave Bowker, K1FK, has a nice set of instructions for turning the roofing filter on/off using
A couple of days ago, Steve, N4LQ, described a modification to the Omni VI noise blanker to allow it to be more completely turned off when the NB control is turned fully CCW. He changed the values of
