[TenTec] OMNI C and 17 Meters

[Ken Graham]

Yeah, I know this topic has been covered before, but I was recently given a
crystal to put my Omni C on 17 meters.  I thought I would try it for myself.

Results:

Regardless of how carefully I did the alignment for that band,  the image
was never weaker than 15 db below the main carrier. In addition, on any
frequency above 18.084, the image was outside the ham band...

Examples
 F                SIG                                         F
SIG
18,080       30 over S9 ............. Image- 18,160     20 over S9
18,090       30 over S9...............Image- 18,180     20 over S9 (outta
band)
 18120       30 over S9............. .Image- 18,240     20 over S9 (OUTTA BD

Be Aware!!    Oh well, at least I can listen on it......  73
