PLEASE CONTACT LEE AT THE CONTACT INFO GIVEN. DO NOT REPLY TO ME. I am a personal friend of Lee, and can vouch for both the seller and the condition of this rig. Bill W1PA -- For Sale: Ten-Tec Omni 6
Got a call from Lee this afternoon, and he has decided to keep the Omni 6+, so it is no longer up for sale. Thank you to all who called and inquired. Bill condition
Is there a "beefier" replacement for the single pass transistor on the back of the 252 supply? 2N5301; NPN, 40V 30A 200W I have to replace it every few years (good thing for crowbars), and was wonder
Jerry, Could I just swap in a darlington pair like the 2N5686 (80V, 50A) and loaf along at my 18A, and be that much further inside the max current limit (and less likely to fail?) http://www.onsemi.c
Jerry, So what causes the pass transistor to fail? (my crowbar is after the pass, in the cable... added after the first fail took out half the IC's on my Omni back in 1980 (under warranty, thankfully
Thanks to all that commented. Plan of action will be: Replace the current pass transistor with an NTE181 (not cheap, about $6 at Jameco), but has the best combination of power handling and break down
1. Did all Delta II's need the AGC mod (I.e. did Ten Tec ever change the values to shorten the time constant, or are all Delta II AGC circuits the same)? 2. I have one that I am re-furbing that has t
I have a Delta II that I am refurbing, and it appears that the internal speaker has some sort of issue or short. After a few minutes the audio gets very distorted, and the audio amp module gets very
re: external jack I will take a look.... thank you for the suggestion. It would make sense considering the internal speaker still works. I agree that an external speaker does sound better, but if I e
But that would not account for the audio output module getting very hot using the internal speaker? Bill W1PA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.co
Thanks guys... I'll take a look and perform the "cat" test tonight (I have two). I'll look at the schematic and see if, in fact, the series RC is switched out or replicated with the external speaker
Yeah, I looked at the schematic last night, and it has to one of three things -- the speaker itself, or the wiring to it, or the head phones or external speaker jacks -- the audio line goes through
Issue closed. Not sure who it was, who mentioned they had been in their Argonaut II recently, but upon closer inspection the entire top deck of these rigs is hinged, and swings up. (I am so disappoin
Can this be done on either of these rigs? (at least +/- 5 KHz, 7 would be better) If so, how? Bill W1PA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http:
Thanks. Would really like the opportunity to work "split", at least for the guys working "up 5, up 5". i.e. set the PTO to the TX, and then the RIT/Offset back to the DX freq. Bill W1PA ____________
Has anyone tried this on one of the rigs with a PTO? or can point me to a link of someone who has? Bill W1PA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com
Anyone know if our friends at Ten Tec are dry and safe? (re: recent flooding) Bill W1PA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesti

I've read the 8 reviews on eham, so I'll pose this to those of you who have the rig and use it on a regular basis: Why should I own this rig? Let me re-phrase that: Considering the rigs Omni VI and o
After some great replies from last week, I've decided to part with my Delta II -- simply too many Ten Tecs. This was a small restoration project from an estate --needed some general clean-up, a new E
