[TenTec] OMNI VI & 1210 2M Transverter

[Gary Zimmet]

Dennis,
I use my Omni VI Opt3 as an IF (10M) interfaced with a Yeasu FT-901R transverter for 6m through 432Mhz.  I tried to make it "idiot proof" regarding drive power and switching.  It has worked so far!

I have installed a mini DPDT relay and multi-turn pot in the OMNI that is energized when the transverter is on.  When the relay is de-energized (for HF) power control of the OMNI is normal --when energized, the multi-turn pot does the power control for the transverter.

Thanks Guys ... I'd like to make the solution somewhat immune to operator  
error, so turning the power down (albeit a workable solution) probably  
won't meet the needs - I'm leaning towards building a resistive pad unless  
someone has devised a solution where the power can be reduced internally  
without intense modifications.

Thanks
