[TenTec] WTB - Power Supply for a OMNI 6

[Rick - NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

It is 962, and 961.  Both work.  Both match.

So is the correct power supply the Model 692?

And that was only true up to the Omni VI+.

They stopped that when they switched to the 963 PS.
So with the Orions, Omni VII, and Eagle, you may use anything.

I am uncertain if the Jupiter needs it or not.

Well, that's just not quite true, yes, they will run fine on any old power 
supply BUT the catch 22 is they need the 25 amp fuse or breaker between the 
rig and supply as the TT gear can draw excess current and blow the internal 
fuse if you don't have the breaker and happen to use the wrong antenna or 
maybe no antenna or otherwise run it into a mismatched load.
