[TenTec] Omni 6+ Input vs Output power?

[Carl Moreschi]

That sounds correct to me.  The efficiency of my Pegasus, Jupiter, and Orion
vary greatly from band to band.

beefier more stable supply with an accurate dc ammeter.  The Ic scale runs
approx. 1-2 A higher than the supply dc.

The bands where the efficiency goes to pot (Idc exceeds 20A for 100W rf out)
are 160, 30, and 15.  I know this agrees with at least one other Omni 6
user.  Any more?
