Rick - What was the difference in sub-receiver performance when you installed the filter? I assume you were trying to improve the strong signal performance - did it help? Any side effects? John N9RE

Interesting - on my 425 I use the 20M band switch setting for 17M and the 10M setting to operate on 12M. Both are towards the end of the capacitor ranges. No issues with input SWR from the OMNI VI+ Y
Jonathan - I will purchase the Pegasus if it is still available. Let me know. - John N9RE _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contes
I picked a Pegasus with an auto tuner and have been playing with it for the last few days. I enabled the tuner and was expecting some relay chatter and didn't get any. Now that I have a basic underst
That's an electric horse fence antenna. These were being sold at Dayton. The straps are used to make electric fences for horses. The advantage as a fence is that they are much stronger and more visib
Can someone tell me what the lamps are that are used to illuminate the meters in a Titan 425? I can't find them in the manual and both of mine have failed. I wanted to make sure I had the right lamp
After opening the amp, the lamps are 1820s in parallel. John _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/ten

Neal - That is the set-up I am running, three INRAD filters in a row. An INRAD CW roofing filter and INRAD 250Hz filters in both IFs. It works really well in contesting. For casual operating I run th
Don - When I was discussing the passband of the two filters, what I was really getting at was the passband ripple of the two filters. I don't think that they have very good shaping compared to the IN
Dave - I assume that you mean n-1 or n-2 buttons on the front panel of the Omni. I had similar issues with my TenTec filters. With 250Hz selected on the main filter, if I selected 250Hz on n-2 (I ass
I'm having an issue with my OMNI VI+ and wanted to ask the list for any similar history before I started to take the rig apart. When I use the radio in FSK mode, the PTT line seems to be putting the
A couple of thoughts. First, the later VI's do have some surface mount boards. Second, the internal speaker is lousy and can be buzzy. Same issue for the PS speaker. I use the roofing filters for CW
I have an OMNI VI+ that is exhibiting VFO problems. Occasionally the main tuning will not change frequency, or will do so at a very slow rate, or in the wrong direction. It is almost as if the main t

Interestingly on my OMNI VI+ the factory installed encoder was an OAK-GRIGSBY 90Q125-02-00245 with a date code of 12/08/97. It has a similar pin configuration to the Bourns replacement that Curtis fo
I have been having an issue with my Omni VI+ losing both output power and sensitivity on 12M. This happens randomly while operating. The output of the radio would drop to about 3 watts and sensitivit
