[TenTec] Omni VI on PSK

Hello All,

I have an Omni VI/Opt 3 that I just started using on PSK31.  I have it
cranked back to about 20-25 watts.  Everyone tells me that the signal is
extremely clean at that level.  However, the heat sink does warm up a bit,
even at that power level.  If I ever decide to try RTTY or SSTV, then I’ll
probably need to cool the finals a bit.  Tentec offers a fan kit.  What’s
involved in installing this fan on an Omni?  The Tentec website implies that
it’s an easy bolt-on fit for the newer radios, but what about the older
Omnis and Paragons?  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Many thanks.

Bob NE5RD
