[TenTec] 546c advice

[jones_winston at bellsouth.net]

I also once owned an Omni A (analog) and the later Omni C. Both are great rigs.


However, there was a design problem in the Omni C on 17 meters that was due to the conversion scheme used.  I've heard it explained better by some engineer-type hams than I can do. I understand it caused spurs to be transmitted.
