Yea, well as long as we are discussing analog audio, my HQ-170AC with its 85 kHz IF and a 6"x 9" oval speaker sounds mighty good. Bob, K4TAX Sent from my iPhone
Although the Corsair design and performance has merits, I also believe the true buyer market is not sufficient to support any R & D, marketing, and sales efforts. I view this to be true in the face o
The 4 large Phillips screws are standard on the sides. The Torx are at the rear of the case. Normally a Torx wrench is supplied with the accessory kit from Tentec. 73 Bob, K4TAX DISCLOSURE: All opini
Something doesn't seem correct with your failure experience. I have power supplies and radios that have these as the original power switches. Many of these get turned on and off daily. I have also re
As a general practice and I believe most would agree, the power supply should come up first and then the radio second. I have experienced on more than one occasion some issues occurred when a "master
I've found a shot of lubricant {NOT WD-40} at the top front will typically restore the switch life. This is where I've had issues on other products. I think this is the same switch as used for the ma
Just ran mine up and down the power range. And as Carl stated; "I'm not sure about the accuracy of my power meter at the station at these power levels". Although it does have a 20 watt F.S. range. I

Their website lists what they service. I don't find that has changed. The biggest issue is "cost to repair". In many cases, the cost to repair exceeds the value or near value of the product. I find t
I agree with Billy on the suggestion of a MASTER RESET. If that doesn't clear the issue then reload the firmware followed by a MASTER RESET. If this doesn't correct the issue, well Ten-Tec has a new
I've said it before and been criticized but one needs a counter to resolve the required frequencies to 1Hz or better. Confirming SSB USB & LSB frequency requires measurement, not listening. Bob, K4TA
All this sounds good and so easy to do, however we are dealing with an Omni VI which may have an oven oscillator that may or may not heat correctly and does take time to warm up and does drift with t
For those that have one of the "smart phones" I suggest the free app Cateater Tuner. It reads out in 0.1 Hz. Just set it next to the radio, let it hear the CW note and adjust the tuning for your side
The accuracy is only as good, but not better than the instrument one uses. The Omni VI Plus on the bench was checked on all bands, CW mode. The following is the discrepancy between the frequency disp
Remote tuners are mostly like helicopters. I find they have too dang many moving parts expected to move at the correct time and in the correct amount to be reliable. Thus more crap in line means more
When you lift the cover, there is a HV shorting bar that should short the HV to ground. Notice I say SHOULD. Never take anything for granted when working with any product that uses high voltage. Use
