All - I got a note from Paul saying the pot is 10K. Took off the front cover and there is plenty of room for a deeper control on the front panel. Unplugged connector D on the logic board. It already
Don - Further investigation shows that all three wires - brown, white, red - go to connector D on the logic board. I put a 4.7K resistor between the brown and purple wires. It made no change in the k
Don - 10 turn is overkill for this. I found a 10K 5-turn pot for about $4 each. With their minimum I had to order 4 of them. If anyone else on the list would like one of the extras, just let me know
Bob - I want to agree on the idea that you don't need, or even want, the most highly technical radios around. A Ten Tec Jupiter would much more closely match your interests. You will find it enjoyabl
John - Once they get here, I will save one for you and I'll let you know the total. Probably mid week or so. 73 de K1ESE John _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTe
Last week I asked about any thoughts on how to spread out the keyer speeds on the control of the Omni VI internal keyer. In the end I bought a 5-turn 10K pot. It arrived today. To make the swap you f
Don - Don't I wish :-) Nope, the panel and the subpanel both lean out together. The trick is separating the two in order to get to the nut holding the keyer pot. One might be able to remove the side
I have an Omni VI+ (option 3). I have built the QSK relay box designed by Phil Salas AD5X shown here: http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/QSKrevA.pdf The box switches 52v at 100ma. Will the relay con
Paul - Thank you very much for the help. That not only solves the relay problem, but also silences the Omni VI internal relay. Great solution. I've ordered the Jackson Harbor kit. At $11 I don't thin

I have a new-to-me Omni VI+. I have a question concerning pass band tuning and the filters. My Omni VI+ has these filters: 9MHZ (48058) 9429 8-pole -2.4 khz N1 (48058) 9918 8-pole -2.4 hz N2 219 (480
Denton - Thanks for the reply. I don't do PSK. Can you click in N2 only and then move the passband with PBT??? 73 de K1ESE John _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Ten
Thanks to all that responded. The answer to my original question was that the pass band tuning does not work with the 9 mhz filters. But, I also learned how to use the PBT control to squeeze the vari
I have a problem when I operate my Omni IV+ (option 3). The audio on 75 meter SSB and 10 meter SSB is distorted. This only happens when I run the amp (Ameritron ALS-600). This only happens if I conne
I had a problem, described below. I got audio distortion whenever I operated the Omni VI+ with my amp, but only if the Omni was connected to my laptop. I found a solution that might help someone else
Duane - I couldn't agree more about what a good time this is for USA ham radio manufacturers. Seems like Ten Tec, Elecraft and Flex are again leading the way in this market. 73 de K1ESE John ________
I have had success with the Keyall from Jackson Harbor Press. http://home.att.net/~jacksonharbor/keyall.htm Hard to beat $11. I use a "Y" cable between the TX IN and TX OUT and the Keyall. I turn off
I must be pretty tone-deaf because I have a hard time zero-beating CW signals. On my K2 I added the K6XX CW Tuning Indicator and it works really well. I bought another CW indicator and installed it i
I used to have a Tuner-Tuner (fixed 50 ohm noise bridge) but kept blowing the fuse by transmitting through it. Now have an MFJ-212 Matchmaker. Same concept but with auto-bypass and a momentary ON but
