AF around 30% with RF around 80%, that produces PLENTY of audio.

To Mike ND4S:
What do you usually set your volume control on (%) for normal listening?
On loud signals (s9 and up), I can listen around 60-70%, but on weaker
signals, I have to crank up to near end of range. It just seems like I don’t
have enough audio gain.

You might check your AGC settings and see if you have enough gain for
small signals. On my Orion II if the threshold is set too high it could
cause too low an audio output with small signals.

Hello Winston,
I can't answer question #1 but did some testing on question #2. I see
little or no attenuation of audio with a NR setting of 5. With a setting
of 9 there is some loss of audio but not much, not even enough to need
to change the volume control setting. I am also using the 307 external
speaker. My test was on 75 meter SSB.
Tnx, Mike Cumbo, ND4S

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VII questions
I bought a used Omni VII two months ago and am really enjoying using
it.
I have two questions that other Omni VII users might can answer:
1. In the instruction manual, it says the speech processor is “RF
compression.”
Does that mean it’s the same type RF compressor used in the Ten Tec
Model 715 processor?
2. I use my Omni VII with the optional Model 307 external speaker. The
receiver seems sensitive, but with the DSP on, even at lowest 1
setting, I have to turn up the AF volume control to nearly 100 percent
to get adequate volume. (I also have a Jupiter and it fills the room
with sound at settings around 30-40%.)
Is there likely something wrong with my radio or does the Omni VII
normally have low volume output?
Just hoping other Omni VII users can help me out.
