Don, you are correct. I added the 17 meter crystal and the transmitted 
"spur" was about two watts, key up. Spoke with then technician Garland 
Jenkins about fixing it. He suggested if I wanted to work 17 meters I get a 
different rig.

I've owned many Ten-Tec rigs but the latest models were the Corsair II and 
the 580 Delta. They are all great rigs. I prefer the 544 and the 546 Omni-C. 
My Omni-C sits on my operating desk... it sounds best to my ears.

73 and Good Luck to all,
Mike Hyder -N4NT-
