Tnx Chuck,
I found it. It's on page 4-45 of my manual; I guess there are a lot of
variations of the manual.
Concerning placing the 2.4 KHz 9 MHz filter in the 1.8 KHz filter position
and so on after installing the 2.8 KHz filters that I discussed below, a
more careful look a the schematic revealed different input resistors for
the various filters. The appear to be attenuators, probably for 50 ohm
filter inputs to compensate for different losses in the different
filters. They shown on the Pass Band Tuning Schematic. Rather than modify
the board and replace the resistors, I will just swap the filters and see
how it sounds. Then I will run a test using Spectrogram with a white noise
source for the receiver and see what the band pass and level are when using
each filter.
Tnx agn,
Chas, W1CG

The carrier null is on the TX audio board...that would be
page 4-39 in the Omni VI book or 4-25 in the Omni VI+ book.
The pots to adjust are R3 and R4 at the input of the opamp
U4...the balanced modulator. The page 4-37 right hand column
bottom of the first full paragraph mentions carrier
null...this would be page 4-23 in the "Plus" manual.
