[TenTec] omni 6 plus

[Barbara Maloney]

Hi Jeff,  Looks like you are loaded for CW contesting.  I got my 6+ Nov.'02 with Inrad filters #750 and 751 and 753 for the 9MHz IF.  I have always thought they were 500 and 250Hz replacements for the TT roofing filters?   I seldom use the 250 or the 2nd 500Hz filter(N1). You are gonna like it if you are a serious CW opr.  I did not like the 962 PS as it ran too hot and the speaker was p-poor.   With a good efficient supply and a decent speaker, the audio is great.  Just keep the IC amps below 20.  The NR dsp is very effective on weaker CW sigs to improve the s/n ratio.  My s/n is 02A10458 made in Feb. 99.   
Dont know what they go for today, probably around $1000.   You would have to spend over twice that amount to get a rig that would match it on CW.  My 2cents worth.
73, Mike/ac5p

hello,
i am new to the omni 6 plus. just got a nice one serial #2A10249. it has cw filters in it ( inrad 400 hz and 250 hz in the 9mhz and 6mhz if).
just put in the inrad 600 hz roofing filter. i have s1-3 and s1-4 in the on position on the roofing filter so that it is activated when N-1 or N-2 on the omni 6 is pressed. anyone have a better way of activating the roofing filter? also does anyone know if this is a late or early production of the omni 6 plus?  s meter seems a bit stingy compared to my icom and kenwood radios any ideas? 

thanks Jeff KC2JDU
