[TenTec] Omni VI and Buxcom

[Jim]

Bill-

I have two Rascals and have been using them with Ten Tec rigs for years. 
I currently use one with an Omni VI on AFSK. The "Mic In" plug is green 
and was labeled when I received it with a felt tip pin. The other plug 
is black, unlabeled, and plugged into the Line Out jack. I suspect that 
their plug colors are not standardized.

The other Rascal, as I received it from Buxcom, ran "inverted" on FSK. I 
opened the unit and attached a 1K resistor to the base of the 
transistor. This attaches to a wire that is plugged into the FSK jack on 
the back of the Omni VI and Orion. That worked fine until recently, but 
something must have come loose in what I did because it quit working. So 
I'm on AFSK with the stock Rascal until I get around to fixing the 
other. But AFSK with the Rascal works fine.

Hope this helps. Rascals are inexpensive and it shows.
