My OMNI V has an orange dot. Which color dot has the best IF in the radio? Must be a secret plan by Ten Tec to make sure only the best customers get the best radios by color coding them. If the don't
Leo, if you get two Orions on your offer can you send me one? I won't even complain if it gets here DOA. Oh, I will pay the cost to ship + sales and fed.tax. I will also send you a picture of my hunt
Goes to show you that each radio has it own virtue. I have a Corsair II an Omni V from Ten Tec. These are great radios. I also have Drakes and Heathkits. One day I will own a Collins KWM-2. I like th
Might be a good idea to add a small fuse holder and hard wire that to the board. My thought is that if you make a real good connection to fix the trace and have another device short on the rig you mi
Ed, I used the JB Weld about two years ago on a Corsair II bandswitch knob that did the Ten Tec split. I only had one good knob left so I filled the split knob just like you did with JB Weld. It has
Yes, Dave you could buy another knob from Ten Tec but it would break the same way the old one did. Some people don't even know it is split until they go to turn the bandswitch and the knob just spins
The other day, I was on SSB 10 meters, at full output of 80 watts, which is all my Corsair II does on 10 meters and I was told I was distorting on peaks. The ALC LED does not light on 10 meters becau

Can someone on the list tell me if the Astatic M6B D-104 handheld is low or high impedance. If anyone is using one with a Corsair II on this list could you tell me if it is a good combination. Also,
Ralph, you can get the knob from Ten Tec for about two bucks. Dan/N4VET _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/l
Call Ten Tec. They had the all the knobs for the rig as of two months ago. They are real cheap. Dan/N4VET _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com htt
Ed, I have an OMNI V. It is better on SSB over the Corsair II which I also have. I do not have any mods on mine and no upgrades. I do not know if you can still get the chip from Ten Tec but I think y
Yes, Rick the chip does improve the radio. For others it may be a great improvement especially if you hook up to a computer. I don't hook up that way. Ed, may want that type of setup and if he change
I know that Kenwood and others use ALC foldback and thermal protection to protect finals but Ten Tec depends on the Airpax type breaker and the Ten Tec power supplies. The Ten Tec supplys stay very c
I use the same supply you do and Airpax breakers. 18 Amp instant on the Corsair II and a 20 amp fast on the OMNI V. I have never had a problem and have had the rigs for over 5 years. You might want t
Larry, you have found your problem. You have a reactive SWR at some frequencies. Your Ten Tec has no SWR foldback and needs a breaker to protect the rig from reactive loads or amp overdraw from the p
The way I see it is to use the radios manual as a starting point. Look on the specification page under transmitter. Under power required on transmit you will find the amp draw @ 13.8 VDC. I have foun
Does not go fast enough. Even a fast type glass fuse will outlast a finale. That is why Ten Tec says to use the power supply they make or fuse with the Airpax. The Ten Tec supplies have the Airpax ty
