Ok I just read where the OMNI VI opt3 is the same as the OMNI+ now I am *really* getting confused. :0) Bob -- You're confusing yourself. The option 1,2,and 3 were offered to owners of the Omni 6 afte
Did the original Omni VI have DSP? I thought that the DSP was added with one of the options???. The Omni VI DSP is done in the audio, only for receive, not at a 15 kHz or other low IF. My original 6
I'm trying to put together a simple plug and cable connector for my newly purchased Begali Signature keyer to my Orion 2 ............ SNIP I've accomplished this before with a Bencher keyer and a Ke
do I have to switch back and forth to listen to both. I have never operated a rig that had this feature from the factory. Apparently there are several rigs that have this feature without modificatio
K0CQ: a couple miles that is discernible in the receiver......... W4ZV: Half a dB here (e.g. ground system) and half a dB there (e.g. feed line) adds up............... For signals at that point, 1 d
I'm trying to get a newly acquired Corsair II on cw. I can't get my paddles to close the T/R switch. The radio works fine on SSB. I'm in the paddles jack, keyer speed is up, and the mode is set for
Thing is any other audio oscillator with a fine waveform takes a while to start and to stop and won't follow high speed keying well and the sawtooth is has as fast a rise and fall as the RF output.
That works well so long as the HQ180 doesn't wander off the frequency. Hi Doc, Since you mention it-- the Yaecomwood boys say the same about my Ten tec gear. Maybe the 180 and my xceivers just wande
Once the rig is stable, if I'm left with a heterodyne in the pass band it can be tuned out with PBT control. I don't mean "filtered out" with PBT; just a few degrees rotation of the PBT control aroun
adjust the PBT control until I hear a birdie, then press the NAR button, the pitch of the birdie changes by a few hundred Hz; pressing the NAR button again returns it to its original pitch. I can't s
Is that TX RF output, or RX audio output? TX ALC Is it audio derived or in the IF? Does it have different AGC action depending on mode selected? IF Not mode dependent (I think ?) Have Omni D --B, bu
Actually I believe the AGC is audio derived. That is why the audio CW filtering works so well. Haven't found the manual yet but I'm sure Mike is right. When I find it, could scan pertinent parts for
Nor do I, Gert. But, the numbers keep me from wasting my time and money on radios that don't have even a slight chance of pleasing me. Especially when those numbers are confirmed by more than one so
-- Original Message -- From: "Toby Pennington" <toby423@earthlink.net> Now that the announcement of the Omni 7 has been made, I wonder if this is going to surpress the sales of the Orion 2, or at lea
(JA Mfrs give you a mic every time). Icom products are routinely discounted. The TS870 originally was around $3000 but I was able to purchase one NEW with a coupon for $1600 two years ago. That's no
I have always thought (and heard from others) of the Omni VI Plus as more of an outstanding CW rig than SSB (in general). I have always thought of my OmniVI+ as an outstanding SSB and VERY outstandin
Now you're talking Barry. Leave the mic connector off-- or at most-- just enough audio circuit to use only in emergiences. Ole CW guys already sound "purty enuff" without all that EQ & stuff ! 73, J
