Hi Mike (et al)--
The Omni-D has internal frequencies which mix to produce spurious =
emissions when the rig is used on 17 meters. Ten-Tec techs told me the =
only cure for this was to get another rig for that band. They changed =
the mixing scheme in the Corsair/Delta 580 era to obviate this problem. =
My suggestion is that you forego your attempt to use that Omni-D on 17 =
meters.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni D adding 17 meter band
I just bought an Omni D that is cosmetically good and works extremely =
well. My question is, what is necessary to add the 17 meter band to =
this transciever? It does not mention any part number for a kit to add =
bands to the aux. band position. Is there a kit still available from =
Tentec or is this something that will require scrounging to find it? =
Thanks for any help that may be forthcoming. Please email me directly =
with any suggestions or opinions. Mike - KC8WR
