Still looking for a FM board for the Omni VI. If anyone has a junker radio with the board, I would consider buying the board, or the entire radio. Radio need not be repairable and will be used to kee
I just bought a project Omni VI and discovered the seller had removed the FM board and sold it separately. I'd really like to find a board to replace it. I'd also need the coax jumpers, but I will ma

Some reported that Ten Tec was out of these items on the reflector several months back. I just ordered a pair with a new trim ring. They have the dark grey ones on hand, cost was 6 dollars a pair. Th
I suspect there is a bit of apprehension relating to the two recent transfers of ownership for Ten Tec and Alpha to RKR. I'd guess more than a few hams are waiting for news as to the viability of RKR

I'd start by carefully reseating all of the connectors on the PC boards. That may cure some of the problems. The Paragon II is usually much more trouble free compared to the earlier Paragon. Mine has
I've had this happen when trying to do a reply to a post directly. While I have registered with a GMail acct.; a reply goes to my default COX email, which isn't linked to my membership in this group.
I own both an Omni VI, and an Omni VI Plus... love both rigs, but I haven't been able to find documentation for the VI Plus model that shows info on the surface mount boards--it would be nice to be a
