[TenTec] Followup on Omni VI Plus birdies

Sun, 23 Nov 1997 11:21:40 -0600

Hello gang,

Thanks again for all the responses concerning Omni V and VI birdies. 
Some of you asked for an expanded list of birdies that I could hear and
the conditions I was hearing them under.

So here goes:

Omni VI Plus, serial number 10A10097
Purchased 11/11/97

Installed filters - 217 and 285 

Test conditions as follows:

1) Omni VI antenna jack connected alternately to a 50 ohm dummy load,
Cushcraft A-3, or 160 meter dipole via external B&W antenna switch.

2) DSP and notch filters off, no auxilliary filters engaged, in CW
mode.

3) AGC on and in fast position.

Birdies heard at:

Some are weak are are masked by atmospheric noise when an antenna is
connected, but the moderate to strong ones are not.   With a resonant
antenna connected, I can hear a tones ranging from S1 to S5+ at about 
50% of the frequencies listed above.

Hope this is of some use.

Regards,

Karl - W5QJ
