Hi ???? Just sold my Corsair II line. Always enjoyed the audio quality,very easy to listen to. Bought a really nice OMNI-V ,with the 9.2 chip and ALL the filters. The audio...on a separate speaker...
I have had very good luck using external speakers with both my omni vi and vii with external speakers...if I put the speakers at desk top level underneath and at the back of a shelf on top of the des
Since the IF and filters are the same for all bands, there is no reason for 160M and 80M to sound any different than any other band other than the fact on 160M and 80M you are using LSB (40M too) and

Filter cutting at 200 to 300 Hz is common, putting the BFO at the 20 dB down point. Sounds as if the BFO alignment is further from the filter than that. But with a crystal calibrator, you can determi
Bob ?I was reading the back part of the manual I think you most likely found the problem. Ten Tec gear is new to me and it takes a while to read and understand just how they do things and way. I will
Jerry ? after reading your comments and a few others,think you hit the problem. No longer have a decent bench,so will see if I can hunt up the gear to go thru the rig. thanks dale wt4t Filter cutting
Using the external speaker from my old 920 ...sp-8? tried several and they all sound bad with this OMNI-V. thanks dale wt4t I have had very good luck using external speakers with both my omni vi and
I have both an Omni V and a Corsair II. The Omni has the N4PY upgrade. The receive audio in the Corsair II sounds much clearer to my badly shot up ears. I have been able to copy weak CW stations much

Before you leap into tweaking the BFO, see what the bandpass tuning and alternate filter selections do for the audio quality you wish. 73, Jerry, K0CQ _______________________________________________
Jerry ?the bpt seems to work as it should,varies the signal as it should ,except the signal STARTS off as the poor audio signal. I did notice the BPF and the fade controls do next to nothing for the
Steve ??? talked to a coupla of the local guys who use ten tec ,they all seem to agree with you and myself the corsair II does have a more plesant audio. They also thought the omni-V sounded better t

The effect of the bandpass tuning depends on what filters are in use at 9 and 6.3 MHz. If the filters are of comparable bandwidths, moving band pass tuning off of zero narrows the receiver bandwidth.
Jerry ???? the brain isn't functioning fully today,I guess. Iam confused about the use of the? BPF/FADE control. This control....or controls.... take a full? flat audio signal and makes? it able to c
Before you tweak any little trim pots etc. in the rig, take careful notice of the position of each one before you do anything. The reason is that in one of the rigs (might be the omni VI but not sure

I don't know about the bandpass filter knob. Didn't buy a V when I had a chance because I didn't like the way it shifts to LSB for CW. That's disaster in a VHF contest. I'm talking Band pass tuning.
I don't have a Omni V. I do have a Paragon II, which has FADE and BP controls. These controls work in the audio path, so whatever they do, they should do pretty much the same regardless of which sid

Jerry ?? Ive pretty much decided the rig is going for a ride to Ten Tec. I read the manual today and just don't have? the gear to do justice to the radio. My old heath gear wouldn't be up to the task
Rob ?Decided to let Ten Tec tweak the rig . ?Just don't have the quality of test gear to do it right,old HEATH GEAR...Thanks for the info on the pots,good idea. I have one of the old banana mics also
Sounds like those need an alignment as well. Perhaps a previous owner has "tweaked" the radio a bit. The Omni series radios have a very specific alignment procedure that must be followed. It does req
