It's not all that hard to build a spark gap. Just refer to any ARRL manual. Two 90-degree points separated by .050" will do the trick. There is a lot of copper and brass plate available out there at
But there are great rigs for under $500. Back in the early 60's when we got our novice tickets, we went to used gear to save on cost. There were new rigs, but other than Heathkit CW-only rig, they we
If you're suggesting that the overall quality of RS or the suppliers to WalMart is acceptable, then you certainly can't complain about anything TenTec has ever done. Those other companies are selling

Has anybody ever come up with a model number for the 48074 filter? It's the standard 2400 Hz filter in the 6.3 MHz IF of the Omni VI. A bit tougher perhaps. Can anybody identify a 48057? It's a 4-pol
Thanks, John. Did that first. These 2 are not listed there Dave WA3MKB _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/li
You've got t great rig. My first TenTec was an Omni D series B that blew away my Kenwood 930S/AT. I've had nothing but TenTec since. As for filters, I've used the TenTec's 217, 218 and 219 with great

You see, this is what ham radio is, or at least used to be, about. The variables are so broad that there is no simple answer. So, the ham should build an 'L' network and try it and make measurements.
Bill, Excel (or any other spreadsheet can be handy for this. Make 3 columns. As you read each function in the manual, put a meaningful title in column 1. Put the Multi instructions in column 2 Put no

According to my old TenTec literature, (Pt. No. 74089), Z-in and Z-out are each 200 ohms, the same as the 6 MHz filters. This 9 MHz document shows the same info for the 216, 217, 218 & 219 filters Da
It was noted in this forum earlier that for the Omni VII, at least, the new features would be available as a download. Dave WA3MKB _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list

Yes, there is a board available for just that. It is the model 257 Voice Readout Board. It will plug in to the Paragon, Paragon II, Omni V, Omni VI and Omni VI+. Any of those is an excellent high per
