Hi, I have for sale a Ten Tec Omni A/B in good condition. The radio has some scrapes but works great. It has both the optional 1.8khz and 500hz crystal filters installed. It needs a dial restring and
Hi, I have for sale a Ten Tec Omni A/B in good condition. I have to ask, but what is A/B? I've seen Omni listed as A, and as B, even C and D. But never as "A/B". I also know it was TT fault for confu
My understanding to the whole Omni name scheme is that Ten-Tec first introduced the Omni A (analog dial) and Omni D (digital dial). Later, they decided to improve both models by changing some of the
You are correct it is an Omni A series B 73 de Bill K2rig _________________________________________________________________ Boo!?Scare away worms, viruses and so much more! Try Windows Live OneCare!
Ron, I challenge you to find an Omni C, series B in any TenTec sales brochures, magazine ads or any magazine reviews. I've owned a C since 1981 and I've never seen or heard of an Omni C, series B unt
The Omni C was short for Omni D series C. They were only made in digital. So obviously Omni C series B is impossible. In the Original mode, there was an Omni A for analog and an Omni D for digital di
Hey, so I got the letters backwards, sue me! (smile) And thanks for clarifying the Omni series ... gesh, I'll forget it again (old age). Ron, wb1hga "the 516 is a keeper" ___________________________
Carl, What you wrote sounds logical. However, I've never seen any reference to an Omni D series C until some guys started posting this in their messages to this group. I have researched all of the sa
John, You are correct. Sounds like you did a lot of research. By the time the Omni Series C came along, there were no analogs so there was no need of Ten-Tec to call it the Omni D, Series C. The whol
John, look on the Ten Tec support knowledge base for TT using the phrase "Omni D series C". They use it for the 546C! <http://kb.tentec.com/> For example, "Identifying the Omni D series A, B or C" wh
Does anybody have an explanation why Ten-Tec had a Triton I, Triton II and then a Triton IV, but no Triton III? Was it a prototype model that never made it to market? 73, Winston K4CWQ ______________
Winston, I had a Triton II and it was a good radio. After I had the Triton II, there was an upgrade from a 4 pole filter to the 8 pole filter. I remember thinking that 75 meters was dead after gettin
I don't know where the Triton III went. A useful place to look for (or add too if you know the history) is http://tentecwiki.org/ Particularly <http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=transceivers&s=triton
As I recall, the Motorola product in conflict was a line of marine transceivers, although the line wasn't active at that particular moment in time. Nevertheless, Motorola didn't hesitate to vigorousl

yah, low side LO injection with a 9 MHz IF gets twice the LO (9 x 2 = 18 MHz) through the mixer at least as strong as the desired signal but it puts USB as the normal side band. Later radios use high
There's the double whammy of the low side LO, from 9068kHz to 9168kHz through the 17m band, being injected into the mixer at 13dBm and then leaking sidebands into the IF. Nothing like having a -20dBm
