[TenTec] OMNI VII IF out is easy peasy

[David Perrin]

Hi-
Thanks all to those giving me some leads on locating the OMNI VII IF out connector.

In short, I found that all that is needed is a mini coax about 11-1/2” long with TMP connectors at each end.

The IF output is just about in the center of the radio top side, about 7/16” hole in the shield that shields the IF components. It is the only hole in the top of any shield in the top side of the radio. Then follow the speaker leads to where they connect in the right side rear of the rig. While looking at that connector, look a bit to the left of it and down a bit in the radio- there you will see two TMP sockets (one above the other, you will only see one). The top socket for a TMP connector connects to the bottom center RCA jack on the rear panel, plug the cable in that top socket. You should label that RCA jack as “IF Out”.
