[TenTec] OMNI VI+ AUDIO

[John Oglesby]

A couple of thoughts. First, the later VI's do have some surface mount boards. Second, the internal speaker is lousy and can be buzzy. Same issue for the PS speaker. I use the roofing filters for CW all the time. They are great in pile-ups. Unless you are working contests, etc in SSB it is not really necessary.

> Two questions,have a new to me ,OMNI VI+ , one of the earlier rigs ,no SM components. Iam using the rig with the matching supply/speaker. Iam not too happy with the audio from the speaker or even with outboard speaker, I tried. Seems chocked to me. Is the Inrad mod worth doing? for the rig. I don't do much cw any more ,arthritis, mostly ssb and digital modes. The rig has all filters installed ,tt filters, Is the 2400 Inrad roofing filter worth the 175.00 for the radio. The performance of this rig compared to my PROII I had is great. would never go back. Would like to hear any ideas about the mods.
