- The 706 on a dummy load and the Omni VI "hear" each other just fine as far as I can tell. I have tuned to WWV with the Omni VI and it appeared to be on frequency. I'll check again, of course. The QSO

- Go to the Ten-Tec website and look in the link for the "knowledge base". They explain which frequency you are actually TX'ing on in CW. That may have something to do with it. Good luck. Tony VE3DWI.

- The sidetone is what you hear and does not directly affect either transmit or receive signal. Thus when you use the VFO to match the sidetone generated in the radio to the CW stations tone, you two a

- It sounds to me like the BFO oscillators might need alignment. Here's a simple test: transmit on your IC706 and tune in the signal on your Omni6 so signal is centered in the passband. Then without to
