Excellent news Phil and one of the "solder sucker" points I was about to send you. Other... Before faulty component extraction firstly bear in mind any excessive heat from solding-iron to the tinned
Am looking for the same and wondered if this would be of any assistance. The Oriental dealer is not longer on Ebay but there are adapters out there using the same chip. http://ve7sl.blogspot.com/2016
Further to my reply below... Have investigated the ex Oriental ebayer's feedback and this is what he was selling. USB to RS232 Serial DB9 Converter Adapter Cable For Win7 64 Mac FTDI Chip http://ve7s
The receive side of my O6 has packed in (yet again) and will no dubt requirea diode change on the LPF board. Duet to failing eyesight the task is becoming very onerous and as I have a spare borad am
Have notice a big change in O6 QSK thump from horrendous using modern low impedance headphones to zero thump with my 1960's vintage (vy) high impredance headphones. 73 Malcolm F5VBu _________________

Thanks again Stuart. Have replied to all your previous but for some obscure they haven't surfaced. Perhaps the moderators can give an answer? 73 Malcolm F5VBU Some read and display junction voltage,
Thanks Stuart... As this is my third venture into O6 LPF receive chain diodes would like to know why this consistent failure to an otherwise superb transceiver with one big design fault aka Achilles
Some time back I posted for help on what i erroneously referred to as the the Omn VI BPF board when it should have been LPF board. I have now resolved the problem and would like to thank all who repl
Have just demothballed my FT102 and speaking purely operational am astonished at the superiority of the FT102 over the O-6 on receiver sensitivity. Grateful for any comments. Malcolm/F5VBU __________
Failing vision (AMD) is making frequency readout of my Omni VI untenable even at display brightness menu setting max 15. I doubt there's any way to increase this but would be grateful for any suggest
Thanks your reply Bob.. I did say purely under operational circumstances and by that I mean simply comparing the two receivers with the same receive signal.. I'll take your word for the technical spe
Thanks vm again Bob.. All good stuff which I've carried out in more salubrious times when younger but practically speaking if there is a deterioration in receive signal path/sensitivity it basically
Silly question... Same symptoms on dummy load? Malcolm F5VBu When I power up the transceiver, in CW mode (I only operate CW), it will generate 80-90 watts output with the PWR control fully clockwise.
Thanks John. No wish to detract from Barry's sage advice but would've thought any reduction in DC input power would've dimmed the meter lamps also as an indication. I love my O6 but its board layout
Releasing PL14 should give you the movement you require Terry but would suggest for peace of mind to take the board out completely and to do this jobe and make sure it is well tethered with replaceme
Thanks your input Barry andI concur the m/s ration on both the Corsair2 and O6 keyers has never been to my liking plus the fact the TT keyer paddle wiring is inverse to what I previously was used t
Hi everyone.. With failing vision I no longer can read the dial on my trusted Omni VI relying more and more on keypad entry by touch. My thoughts are to move to Orion/Jupiter style screen readout and
Thanks for the tip Byron. The problem I find with AMD (deteriorating central vision) is there is only so far one can gowith magnification and my preference is more brilliance/contrast is with some en
