CHeck to see what Ten Tec is selling them for USED, and figure to knock off $200 or so. That is pretty much the formula for Omni VI, Paragon II, Omni VI PLUS(a real one). They are only worth what you
Send it back. The guy should be chastised for false advertising. Make him pay shipping BOTH WAYS. He should be ashamed. ANYONE who sells an option 3 as a PLUS (without disclosing the fact) is trying
C'mon , Walt. Of course you would have to talk to him first. Being it was his brother might change things. But we all know guys are doing this and it is just not right. That is the main point. Mark
Dave, the problem is that there are guys who DO NOT disclose the fact it is an OPTION 3. If they know enough to call it a PLUS, then they know it is NOT a PLUS. This is an intentional act which is do
Here is another to watch for: Kenwood(perish the thought) made a ts 950s, a ts 950SD, and a ts 950SDX...... Current values about $1000, $1200, and 1800 respectively(plus or minus, please ...you get t
This was an issue which I wrote comments about at the Yahoo Omni VII group. John Henry, of TenTec, later had a new firmware revision which corrected this issue of the SWR meter showing 9:1 at times.
I recently bought an Orion 565. It is running version 1.372. Is there a way to determine if the sweep mod has been done without taking the rig apart? I dont remember if the sweep is a "one shot" on t
OK, thank you for that. Is there another way to know without doing a download, taking the rig apart , etc?? Thanks all. Mark "Hi Mark - If you load version 2.* software and the sweep works, then the
Mark hold the Menu button in and that will give you the 565 startup screen. The bottom line will say "V2 Mod Confirmed" if the mod has been done. OK, thank you all very much for your help. Mark K8VF
One reason we might be hearing more noise is that the Omni VII has a much lower noise floor than the Omni C........if memory serves me, -128 on 160 meters VS -140...quite an improvement in sensitivit
If you ever work on a very noisy band looking for weak signals, you'll find the 250's-even stacked-help quite a bit. Also, on most cw contests, the narrow filter really makes a difference in blocking
I cant do it. I envy you. I would think most can't, hence the filters. I would imagine you were the exception, in my opinion. What a great talent! You are really lucky! If I could do that I would be
"Matching the received signal pitch to the transmitted has been a problem with narrow receivers for a loooong time. I had a Hint & Kink published in QST back about 1981 after a frustrating FD with fe
I have an omni VI which has some distortion in the received signal(ssb). If I cut the Rf gain way back, it clears up. It would seem to be overload. The "S" meter is reading low at this point. I suspe
I sold my Jupiter, and the guy after using it one day fires it up to have a dim screen which slowly fades to black.... Now rig wont display or react or key. Any advice other than the reset? Hold any
Thanks, Rick for the suggestion. When I said "He says No" I meant that those suggestions did not change the situation..I am sorry I was not clear. I offered the power supply, power cord(suggested he
