1. [TenTec] 160 Meter Problem (score: 1)

I was sitting in the shack minding my own business last night when I noticed on the DX cluster that W1AW/5 was on 1821.5 in Oklahoma. I have not tried 160M here, but do have a 130' dipole and an AH-4

Start with a dummy load. Make sure the Omni VI is working OK on the dummy load. I'm surprised the AH-4 even found a match. It is only rated to cover 80 thru 10m. I used an AH-4 a lot in the past but

The AH-4 actually matches just about anything as long as it is longer than 7M, the longer the better, but not an even 1/4 wl. There is a spreadsheet of "forbidden lengths" available in the Yahoo Grou

I'm out here in the shack now with the radio to a dummy load. To answer Carl's question, no, there was no noticeable change in current going from receive to tune. I tune at very low power, just enoug

This sounds like a 160m band relay not functioning on the LPF board. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt am Main) I'm out here in the shack now with the radio to a dummy load. To answer Carl's question,

WAIT, that was a very stupid comment from me. If it's not drawing power, then it's not a relay on the LPF board. Instead, I wonder if it's even transmitting at all on 160m. With power turned down low

Probably an issue with the LowPass Filter board for 160M related to K12 and or K13 that switch the components for 160M filter. Likely one or both relay coils are open. Since they are actually paralle

OK, Omni VI+ on Dummy Load, Omni VI on dipole. With no antenna on VI, I can barely hear the VI+. With the dipole I hear it loud and clear. Thanks! 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen ______________________________

OK, so it is transmitting, but just not enough power. Perhaps my first impulse was indeed correct, a relay on the LPF board. It just seems to me that it should draw more current in TX, even if the LP

Without seeing the radio, I'd fall back to unplugging and plugging in the MTA connectors that drive the band pass filters and other band specific circuits. Sounds to me like the low level driver has

This is good advice. Other thoughts. The antenna described probably won't work very well on 160M -- very high SWR, difficult to tune, even with a very good tuner, and a dipole lower than about 150 ft

Be that as it may, I loaded up the 706MKIIG just fine and worked the OK station which had a very good signal here, one of the best I'd heard on 160M. I have never tried 160M here, in large part becau

Jim (A), I strongly agree with Jim (B). I ran an 80m dipole fed with openwire for the better part of 50 years, in at least 10 different QTHs. I used it on 80 and 40, and sometimes when I had nothing

Of course it doesn't have to be one or the other - I've arranged things so I can quickly switch between the two configurations. The top-loaded vertical configuration wins every time for DX and local
