I learned in the old days, so I always use the minimum RF gain necessary to hear the signal and have the AF gain turned up a bit more than most. On both my Corsair and my OMNI VI this make the receiv
My OMNI VI/3 exhibits "fatiguing" audio only when the RF gain is too high. Turn the RF gain up high and yes the audio gets tiring in a hurry. Turn the RF gain down to a sensible level (I don't think
Yes, that was precisely the point I was making. I tell the same thing to people who complain that the Corsair (for example) is "noisy". Sometime back in 1963 or so I learned to run the AF gain higher
Has anyone had any success with running the OMNI VII One Plug software under Linux? I've tried some cross-hosting solutions that claim to run VB under Linux, so far with no success. I also set up a v
Thanks, Jack, but the software I'm interested in is much more than logging. One Plug actually becomes the radio, including receive/transmit audio and everything else. The idea is to be at a remote lo
I wasn't aware that it was 1. Available under Linux 2. Capable of handling the audio both ways 3. Connecting via IP rather than serial I guess I'll have to check it out. 73 Steve WA2SOC _____________
Thanks, Carl. Two out of three! I just really don't want to have to run a Windows laptop just for this purpose. I really thought virtual machine hosting of an XP system under Linux might do it but th
The whole point is that I don't have a local computer running Windows and I don't want to. In fact, the whole point of One Plug is you don't need a "local" computer at all, no matter what software it
Yes, I tried Wine and it doesn't work. I also tried some of the VB hosting environments (like Mono) and they didn't work either. Thanks for the thought, though. 73 Steve WA2SOC ______________________
Thanks, Jeff... I suspect that only VirtualBox has the network latency problem. Perhaps VMWare has a more efficient networking implementation. I'll give that a try. 73 Steve WA2SOC __________________
It depends a bit on what you mean by "cold start". If you do as the manual suggests and leave the power supply on, the oven stays on and the frequency should be pretty stable. If you also turn off th
There are lots of sources, like International Crystal and others. I got mine from Ten Tec as a spare part for the VI+. I've never owned a V so I don't know what the base frequency is. On my VI/3 the

I have had my Corsair for more than 25 years and never found an issue with the audio. The most common reason people think the receiver is noisy is that they run the RF gain too high. Use the minimum
Hi, John.... I had a similar situation with my O6/3 which I also bought used. In my case it was extreme enough so the radio would actually stop working completely once in a while. It turns out that t
Steve... I went from Corsair to O6/3 to O7. I've been in the computer business for 40+ years and I don't agree that the O7 is more computer than radio. The computer part is there to make the radio fu

I had an Omni C with two dead bands on the bandswitch. It turned out that there was a broken trace on the underside of the circuit board; fortunately it was on the ground side. I bent cut off resisto
I will have two Scout systems with modules and power supplies available by Monday. Watch this spot. 73 Steve WA2SOC _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesti
