Hi Tommy,
Then perhaps there is something wrong with my Omni VI. I'll experiment
some more.

Ken,
I have to partially disagree with your comment about split-band
operation with the Omni 6.
I use both the Omni 6 and the Plus and have had semi-QSK working
quite well at about 30 wpm, on 40/80 and on 40/30m. Certainly does
not replace true dual receivers, but it does work split-band quite well.

Hi again.
Well, I really got that one wrong. No you cannot operate crossband split
with an Omni VI. At least not with mine in CW mode. It does work in SSB
or FM TX mode, and does not seem to matter what mode is set for the VFO
memory used for receive. When CW mode is selected on the VFO memory used
for transmit, you can get it to transmit a carrier ( a "dit" or"dah" of
any length you like ), but you cannot key the transmitter to form any
characters (other than a single "E" or "T" ). It does not matter whether
you have selected FAST or SLOW QSK.

Hi Rob,
You are correct in saying that an Omni VI does not have dual receivers.
However the VFO memory function of the Omni VI is not limited to single
band. You can have VFO memory A on one band, and VFO memory B on
another. You can operate split, cross band. I suppose I would have to
make some careful observations with a separate receiver to be fully
confident that when operating split crossband there is no chirp or other
kind of artifacts relating to switching between bands, operating split,
with full QSK. The rig will definitely do it.

I don't understand the question. Assuming you are asking about "dual
receivers" in the Omni 6+, that rig doesn't have dual receivers. It
provides the function of two vfos with its microprocessor. on each band
with a particular vfo there are two frequency memories. On a
given band you
can use vfo A and B to operate split, or switch receive back and forth
between two frequencies, but if you can do something such as monitor two
separate frequencies simultaneously (as you could do with dual receivers)
that's news to me. there is no such thing as a main and sub rx with the
Omni 6+.

Hi,
I have an Omni-VI+ and an SDR-1000 and am unfamiliar with the use of
the second receiver Can someone give me a quick tutorial or direct
me to one on the use of the main and sub receiver, ala Orion? What
do you use it for, and how does that help working DX or contesting,
or just plain operating?
Tnx, Chas, W1CG
