I am a new to Ten-Tec owner of an Omni 6 Plus. The rig purchased from the
estate of a silent key had been in storage for about 7 years. When I bought
the rig and powered it up the receiver appeared to work fine however the
transmitter would not do more than 20-25 watts on 160 and 80m. 40m and above
would run from 80-100 watts. On 160 and 80m the total current draw on the
power supply was less than 10 amps. I sent the rig to Ten-Tec for repair and
they replaced the Finals and Drivers at a cost over $450. I'm curious from a
technical view if replacing finals would seem to be the right fix. I would
expect problems with the higher frequency not lower frequency bands if the
Finals were bad.
Any comments or thoughts out there?
Doug, W9PN
