I love to trade rigs, and from time to time I get a Ten Tec rig with burned out bulbs. In addition, I see people using a Ten Tec rig with "another" power supply. As the Ten Tecs all run at 12 volts,
This most certainly could be a factor. Many TT rigs use the same type of bulb as our grandmother's 1942 Zenith while the other brands use pea lamps which seem to last longer but are hard to change. A
Frank; I believe the PS for the Omni VI puts out 13.8 (mine does anyway) and I have not lost a bulb in the 8+ years I have had it. I have not looked at the bulb ratings in it but if I were the design
I believe your information is incorrect, Frank. I have many Ten-Tec rigs and supplies and most of the rigs will not operate properly from 12 volts. The problems are with the digital display, so perha
Maybe your Triton II runs at 12 volts. My OMNI 6+ runs at 13.5 volts in receive mode, measured at the auxiliary power jack on the back of the OMNI. I'm using the Ten-Tec 9420 power supply (the big on
Where'd you hear that, Frank? My Model 536 manual specs say: Power required: 2 A receive, 20 A transmit @ 12-14 VDC. My Model 961 Power Supply manual specs say: Output voltage: 13.8 Vdc, internally

Bob; Yes you are probably correct. I forgot about the lamp dimming feature - duh! Reid, K7YX I seem to recall that the Omni VI+ has 6 volts lamps which work with a dimmer, typically at 5V. The power

I seem to recall that the Omni VI+ has 6 volts lamps which work with a dimmer, typically at 5V. The power supply (Tentec) outputs 13.8. Yes, 14 volt lamps are the correct choice for a 13.8V supply. B
