There is no reason a SB-1000 cannot be connected to an Omni V to work perfectly as far as power output and linearity is concerned. The Omni V has power; /archives//html/TenTec/2007-08/msg00421.html (7,623 bytes)

The relay in the Omni VI+, when used to key the amp, does not provide delay for RF output thus the amp is likely to switch hot.
