Yes, cleaning and lubricating is probably all that is needed in most cases. The end cap on my Omni C was broken, having a replacement on hand was essential to finishing the job. And, after all the po

If I remove the entire PTO assembly from one Omni D and install in another, are there any adjustments needed other than the L1, L2, & L3 adjustments on the PTO to set the oscillator endpoints and lin
Recently acquired fairly nice Omni C, a model which I have never owned. It lacks crystals for 12 and 17M, recall reading posts stating that 17M wasn't useable on this rig because the mixing scheme al
While surfing web for a QRP/100W PA, encountered reference to a new Ten-Tec 418 amplifier. Evidently it is intended as potential companion for another new Ten-Tec 539 QRP transceiver. I've been curio
I'm wondering whether Ten-Tec accepts preorders or reservations? According to the info I read which was Ten-Tec answers to questions, the new amp can evidently accomodate any QRP rig. If that is true
Complaining about a product that isn't for sale yet??!!! Amazing. And already there are posts online on eHam and QRZ from people complaining about them...
The discussion about Corsair II replacement logic board prompts a question. What was the last model that didn't use a microprocessor for control? The Corsair or the Omni C or ? 73, Curt KB5JO
Somehow I had the evidently wrong impression that the earlier displays like for the Omni C used TTL chips still readily available. Upon review of the schematic for my 544, the MK50398N chip is mentio
The TS-590S specs might compare favorably with the TT-599, but personally having all eggs in the Ten-Tec basket doesn't seem a bad thing. A friend's TS-50 quit recently, and mfg service told him they
Downsizing the shack, selling my Omni VII with built-in antenna tuner. I am the original owner, and ours is a non-smoking household. NO optional filters, 708A desk microphone, original box, cables, a
Am back to working with "mint" Omni C I foolishly bought. After tuning onto a sideband frequency, my transmitted signal is off frequency for the other op, as if RIT were on though it is not. Any idea
Yes, thanks Mike. I had found R-16 after your first message, of course I violated rule #1, RTFM. Never imagined an adjustment for that, figured a component failure. Adjusted per the manual, also adju
The Omni C is working ok after adjustments. I even managed to get 30 and 10M working by wedging wire into the loose crystal sockets. I asked Ten-Tec whether they still stocked the crystal holders for
Having bought an Omni C from a ham in NY who claimed it had no operating issues, found my trust in fellow hams is sometimes misplaced. I have a few questions about the issues identified (so far): Pow
Thanks for the info. Yes, the power switch is no big deal, can you elaborate further on the "switch pins" would this be on the 80711 Osc-Mixer board? Did you remove it to do the soldering? How? Furth
The band switching problems and the lack of some bands may be due to the crystal assembly. Opening up the rig, some of the crystals are very loose in their sockets. Called Ten-Tec about another socke
"Mint" Omni C recently purchased is better now. The excessive current draw ( with no output ) turned out to be PA bias set for maximum instead 1.5-2 amps current. The seller claimed it worked FB I'm
I own a 208 CW filter used with an Argonaut 509. Sometimes on turning the rig on with the filter turned on, the audio will squeal. Turning the filter off eliminates the hown, but it returns when the
