I'm also interested in adding a spectrum display, but I'll be using a LP-Pan and a 192 kHz external sound card. I've read where others have used SDR receivers that allow monitoring several bands at o
I see Ten Tec has a page on adding a tap for SDR. Is this applicable to this discussion, or are different revision levels? Pete https://www.tentec.com/content/downloads/manuals/599/599%20EAGLE%20RADI
Well, I must be out to lunch, but this is topic asking about a 9 MHz tap on an Eagle. If the topic is about adding a full SDR receiver, capable of providing CW skimmer operations over several band se
Wow, lots of questions... But, you need to know the feedpoint impedance of the loop... and regarding the feed line, you do realize that it is most likely going to work as a matching (or MISmatching n
*What were you running Pete, 50 KW? ;-) Give us some more information on your setup there.* A very modest setup... Omni VI or Paragon II driving a highly modified SB-220, through a Dentron tuner. I h
I found an extra Ten Tec manual in my files; it is for the Omni A and Omni D. There is some factory paperwork for the series B modification included, There are other misc. pages included. Manual is i
Even the Paragon had better synthesizer phase noise spec's than many of the imported radios of that era; and by several dB. Not too shabby. I run both an Omni VI and Paragon II and I've been pretty h
One "benefit" of being an old fart is a severe loss of hearing much above 2.8 kHz... if there is any hiss above 3.4 kHz it is out of my hearing range... LOL. I probably can sell some of the analog au
http://users.vnet.net/btippett/inrad_.htm I remember reading where Sherwood said they were all 200 Z, and I found the link. I'd verify it first, however. Pete
I have a few spares in the drawer; they all appear to be wired as ladder filters. The only exception I recall seeing, and this is off topic for the Omni VI, is the 6-kHz filter for the Paragon. It ap
One of the reasons I've stayed with my Omni VI and Paragon II is because they are so easy to work on; and most of the analog devices are still quite common and available. There aren't many exotic par
I'm thinking of upgrading my Omni VI to an Option 1. I know four front panel button functions are changed, but I can't find out exactly which ones are different. Can someone tell me what changes are
Does anyone know the frequency for the ovenized oscillator (or TXCO) in the Omni VI? I suspect it is 20 MHz, but I can't find the oscillator frequency listed in the manual. I noticed that the FT4 sta
Thanks for the information... Now that I know it is 20 MHz crystal, I'll watch for a high quality 20 MHz modular oscillator on eBay. Since the original xtal oscillator can easily be converted to buff
If it was working, and suddenly died after you have opened the case I'd suspect one of the cables that controls the relay selection for the band filters. 88% percent chance that reseating cables will
It is a four pole filter that was replaced with an eight pole. I haven't seen many for sale in the past. Four pole filters are used for the roofing filter kits for radios that have a 9 MHz first IF.
