May be I did find some promising ones on ebay for mere pennies compared to $100 I think the issue that needs addressed using just any TCXO of correct frequency is the output form needs to be square w
Same experience here Installed the 2.8 INRAD filters and LOVE them for general ssb use However, you may also benefit from touching up the bfo frequencies and carrier null which it probably needs anyw
Barry Try Bourns 3296Y family. The 10k is 3296Y-1-103LF. The second one is either 3296Y-1-101 (100 ohm) OR 3296Y-1-102LF (1k ohm). Got them at DigiKey Sorry for the ambiguity but the values in my rad
Thanks I had planned a part by part evaluation next time the radio is open or I have some spare time As is it isn't bad enough to jump on, just recognize it is happening It starts cold about 20hz off
Barry What is size of the original speaker? I have had good results using a speaker series available from Parts Express. They have many common sizes and they perform well Link to page that will show
I consider the Astron supplies to be industrial equipment and meant to be left on 24-7. Mine have been on line live 24-7 for many years through power failures and all. No problems here. Paul K0UYA Wi
Mark I have that mod in an OMNI VI + and really like it. I have the 2800 in both slots The receive is so much nicer and I have actually had the stations in the other part of the world pause a pile up
Sounds like what I started with on my original TT filters. Had all bass and no midrange on lsb and all highs on usb. The bfo's were set properly so I swept the response through the mic jack--what a m
How is that possible? The lsb and usb bfo frequencies are only 3khz apart Paul K0UYA I bit the bullet and took the entire bottom cover off. I found that there is also a custom 3.1 KHz filter in the n
That is why I asked. I have the 2.8khz INRAD filter and the radio sounds fantastic and gets great audio reports but keeping the carrier supression better than 34 db on both sidebands is impossible wi
Dave Are you sure about the 80C32? That device in a 40 pin dip package was end of life a year ago from all but Dallas and a subtle difference in their architecture can result in different performance
Mine says option 3 on the back which means it is complete and factory done. Inrad bandpass filters are great improvement. Can't speak to the roofing filter--don't have one. Audio mod--just turn the n
Great choice! I sure like mine. Paul K0UYA I'm in residence at a retirement community and a few of us are setting up a ham club. Discussions are underway as to what antenna to install in the rafters
Jim I have had very good luck with one I got from Parts Express a VISATON FRS8. It really enhanced the sound quality from my OMNI VI option 3 with the INRAD 2800hz filter. This is not an "el cheapo"

Members I am looking for a OMNI VI option 3 or a VI+. With or without accessory microphone and power supply Please reply off list if you have something for consideration. This will be my 2nd OMNI VI.
Joe Sharing my experiences and what I've heard: I have an OMNI VI+ and it seems here to handle keying the older vintage amps I've used SB220, SB200, 30L1, L4B, L7 better than my FT950 which seems not
Paul You can unplug the signal in and out of dsp on main board and touch them together See if it is getting through the dsp I had that problem and it was the regulator supplying voltage to dsp chip.
