If you want something a bit smaller that fits under the dash for mobile, it's OK. Otherwise, the Omni D or C, Corsair or Omni VI+ will blow it away Dave WA3MKB The Delta II is one of my favorite Ten-
Here's the URL to the page on TenTecWiki with a photo of the mounting http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=296 Dave WA3MKB If someone had a photo of one of the TenTec ones I am sure I could fab one up.
This one has been beaten to death and back on this reflector recently. John has even given the reasoning from TenTec . Many times when I tell a fellow ham that I use a TenTec -- the first resp[onse

As I recall, the 962 is like a 961 except that the regulation is in the negative rather than the positive lead Dave WA3F It might be similar to the 960 and there's a schematic for the 960 at: http://
Chris, A TT power supply is definitely the best option for protection of your rig. It sounds as if you are doing the right thing by tuning at low power. I've had about a dozen Omni D;s (there's one o
Yes, all the current TenTec stuff has the classic TenTec QSK. So, any TenTec rig will work CW as you want. I have found that the 'phone stuff' is not a burden to the CW side of operation. CW is also
Rick, As a point of clarification, if I were buying a contest rig, it wouldn't be another Omni VI+, it would be an Orion II, or similar rig. I was thinking of the dual receive, dual antenna, etc. I c
John, In a couple of weeks, please follow up and let us know your thoughts on this setup for your purposes Tnx Dave WA3F -- Original Message -- From: "John Westerlage" <john@n5dwi.com> To: "Discussio
Al, The original Delta had a remote VFO, which was the model 283. The Delta II had a VFO B internally for Split operation and there is no listing of a remote VFO for it. Dave WA3F Friday, 12 Nov 10 1
Let's put to bed the idea that mismatched loads should not be an issue. I have 2 Palstar tuners, an AT5K and a BT1500A. Great high quality products. Mismatched loads "should not" be an issue. However
Hold on there. Then you'd have to share your toys and some of the time at the key. I'm very fortunate like that, too. We bought this home (1.6 acres) just so I could have a 100 ft tower (in the spri
Rebuild is a relatively easy job. Worst part is getting the PTO in and out of the rig. By all means do it yourself. I've done over a dozen and they keep getting easier. No need to realign. Just remov
Terry, I'm glad it's not just me. The remote tuning knob is the single reason that my next rig will be an Omni VII, rather than an Eagle. Seems trite, but my rigs are on a shelf, 8" above the desk to
Yep, he's right. After too many ye3ars with an interface, this works best. Many programs will do the job. I like N1MM Dave WA3F I have an old OMNI VI and would like to interface a computer logging pr
John, You may want to google 'speech to text' I came up with the following URL http://www.nuance.com/talk/ Good luck with the project. Let us know when you have it working or keep us posted as you pr
Thank you. Very well said. We all care about the performance, but the ergonomics and 'feel' of a rig are what counts for most of us. Therefore, personal opinions do matter Dave WA3F Yeah, really! her
Thanks, Ken. The moderator of this reflector deserves a great deal of thanks from a lot of us. When my delete key wore out (hi) I just started to use the mouse to point to delete. I have personally l
Tough decision, Frank, I have a used Omni VII on the way. It won because: 1) I gotta have the remote tuning pad. I've got them on my Omni VI+'s and love them. With keypad and 3 function keys, it's a
Yes, but that is for either a straight key or a keyer output. I want to use the internal keyer and that is not supported on the rear. Thanks, however, for the time and attention to my issue. That is
