Re: [TenTec] Distortion SSB Omni VII

Not actually phantom power... but bias voltage.   Phantom power is different 
and is usually 9-45 volts, while bias voltage for a computer type electret 
condenser element is 2.5 to 7 volts  (+/-) - but I take your meaning.
Sounds like an electret element to me...

Thanks for the uptake.
