You guys have got me confused.
"I notice that my used (new to me) Omni VI Plus upgraded to option 3"
I thought that an option 3 upgrade was something that could be done to a non-plus version
of an Omni VI to make it nearly identical to an Omni VI Plus, and an Omni VI Plus
couldn't have an option 3 upgrade. I have an Omni VI with the option 2 upgrade, and wish
I have room for another 1st IF filter. I understood that the no longer available option 3
upgrade would give me this. Or I could just get an Omni VI+. Would I still need to
upgrade the Plus version to "have it all"???
"I never shut the TT power supply off; but turn off the OMNI VI+. That way
the memory battery is maintained charged. Don't remember turning off the
P.S. in over 3 years, and never had your problem."
I have an Omni VI too, and I seldom ever turn it off, but not because I am
concerned about the battery. The only battery I see in my Omni VI appears to be
a lithium or mercury cell. As far as I know these cannot be recharged, and
usually last for years, supplying only current to maintain a memory. I also
have a Paragon, and it does have a 9 V battery, which (with the right
modification) can be a rechargable battery and be charged when the power supply
is on. I have never heard of anything like this in any version of an Omni VI.
Is there really a rechargeable battery in some version of the Omni VI?
