I hve a friend that's a recent convert to Ten Tec rigs mainly because of their quiet receiver. I hadn't paid much attention to it until this morning. On my Yaesu FT-857 ( an Icom 706 MKIIG clone ) On

Have useing the omni-D for a long time, I've fixed a number of them for friends in the area too. I only recently upgraded to the Orion because the OMNI A/C/D has such a good receiver it often outperf
The Omni uses crystal mixing -- no synthesizer noise -- Ten Tec will acknowledge that the price of the fancy stuff (gen cov receive, etc) is the noise that the circuits add. I called to ask why the A
Richard, Reverse the order, then I agree. The preselector really did make a big difference. Ten-Tec didn't invent it. All radios used to have them. Others just quit too soon. Next, at the risk of bei
So lemme see...this is kind of like a narrow roofing filter in some ways? Chuck, KE9UW -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.
Chuck, you've got it! Full 10 pts. It's really a shame the vendors stopped doing that. In the meantime, preselectors are coming back "in" again: - one of the latest FT-1000's - Icom 703 Let's hope ot
Rick has this right. The early OMNI rigs were not very sensitive on the low bands but the sensitivity increased with frequency. This is one very easy explanation for the "quiet" receiver characterist
Perhaps someone can explain why it is so but I've seen much discussion about the superiority of the Ten-Tec 'crystal ladder' filters over the 'crystal lattice' filters used by other manufacturers. Fr
In my own careful experiments with the OMNI-C vs the TS-440 (ladder vs ceramic followed by monolithic lattice filters) the static levels are the same for the same level of sensitivity. If I cut back
Mike? How can a filter lower static levels? only bandwith can do that not the type of filter... 73 KB2TM Dennis -- Original Message -- From: "Mike Hyder --N4NT--" <N4NT_Mike.Hyder@charter.net> To: <t
I'm not sure it really reduce static levels, It does reduces the static that you hear. The quality of the filter will determing how sharp the cut off is. If your radio is interfaced with the PC Sound
Hi, Dennis-- Note that I deferred to the gurus on the reflector about why it was so. See: http://lists.contesting.com/archives/html/TenTec/1999-01/msg00147.html page 10 of this: www.r-390a.net/Pearls
Mike has described what my non-technical mind calls "digital hamburger," the product of so many modern rigs, as compared to older, cleaner (?) rigs... Sure tires one out to listen, even though the ri
I hope nobody would defend poor signals today. But I've been around long enough to remember lots of drifty, chirpy, over-modulated signals from non-digital "good old rigs". Have you ever given out an
