Fellows, Four questions at the end. Have just bought an Omni VI Plus manufactured in mid-1998 with optional 1.8 kHz SSB filters in the 6.3 and 9 mHz IF strips. (I think I am all set up for SSB). I be

Using the narrow filter in the 6.3 MHz IF and the passband tuning can get you a low pitch CW receive note. It will probably take some transmitter XIT to get the transmitter frequency to match. You'd
Peter, I also suffer from the same type of hearing problem and can sympathize with you. At times CW just isn't fun anymore, the ear ringing is about the same pitch and tone as the CW. I selected the
Several years ago, perhaps 1998, there was available a special CW filter (I'm not sure whether at 250 or 500 Hz bandwidth) possibly sold under the auspices of N4PY to lower the CW note in the Omni ri
When using narrow filters in both the 9 MHz IF and the 6.3 MHz IF it is necessary to have the PBT adjusted so that the bandpasses of both IFs coincide. Otherwise you won't hear much at all. The adju
I should have also said that any of the 6.3 MHz IF filters are compatible with the "lowered tone " filter, because all you have to do is adjust the PBT to make the bandpass of the 6.3 MHz IF coincide

I have grown to like the 800hz tone. That was the tone the FCC used when i got my General license 47 years ago and since then have just got used to it. Paul, KD3JF Glen Burnie, MD FM19qd (Map Grid Sq
