[TenTec] Re Please tell me about the TT Omni VI+

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

Thanks to all for thoughtful comments.  For the record, I should have 
mentioned that without the bc band mod, my TS850 suffers from overload from 
nearby 50 kw mw stations.  No such problem with the Omni VI (or 870 or Mk 
V).

<Hi Rob, if your happy with your kenwood and yaesu rigs thats great,>
Thanks very much, yes I am enjoying them quite a bit and running the Omni VI 
on cw.

<just try and repair that kenwood>
I have and things have gone quite well.   you get a bright light, dime store 
magnifiers and file a sharp tip on your iron. don't forget the angel hair 
solder.

< or ask kenwood a question in regards to something that may seem a little 
bit oa a nusiance or whatever too you.  >
Have not had to do that yet--so far all questions answered by reading op 
manuals service manuals and looking at schematics.

<Oh they'll respond alright with an e-mail their answer is genaerally do a 
reset.  >
Reset, reset, that sounds familiar...where have I heard that....oh yeah, 
right here concerning the Orion.

<I have had both rigs you mentioned and they can't hold a candle to the omni 
6 .  >
subjective opinion--if we are going that route, i have A/B tested my Omni VI 
and TS870 on
75 SSB; not heard any difference in sensitivity between the two, but the 
TS870 seemed
quieter on background noise.  DSB noise blanker in both did equally good job 
of knocking out
a new local problem, probably a switching supply in the neighborhood.

<My suggestion to you is to get on their reflectors where your remarks might 
be appreciated,>
I'm not interested in appreciation; I'm interested in helping someone with a 
question.

< even better buy an omni 6 and see what your missing. >
Mine is serial no. 4A10513, and half-way through my 5th year of ownership.
What are the numbers on your JA rigs?

< Oh by the way if you want great audio go on AM .>
My opinion of typical ham AM audio quality is evidently not shared by you 
John,

73,
