hought about noise canceling headphones like the Heil Quiet Phone. Does anyone have experience with these or others on fan noise when working CW? There are only a few reviews on eHam. I am using Koss
The Koss QZ Pro model *is* noise cancelling. Works pretty well. About $60. That is less than Heil's list price for active noise cancelling phones (without mic) and about the same price as the non noi

I experienced a problem with my Omni VI today. After having it turned off for a few hours (which is rare in my shack) with the antenna feedline disconnected at both ends, I turned it back on and proc
Bill, Hopefully you mean uV and not mV if you are talking about receiver sensitivity. Even so, increasing sensitivity from 0.5 uV to 0.1 uV will probably only help on the higher HF bands, or when usi
When the DSP noise reduction is not being used, the Omni VI+ is analog. Yes, there is digital control of many things in the Omni VI, however the signal path from antenna input to headphone output is

There are many people who go out of their way to use the term "cycles" or "kilocycles", etc. when describing frequency. They wouldn't dream of using Hertz or kiloHertz because Hertz doesn't mean anyt
2. The OMNI VI passband tuning (PBT) is set so that you get a lot of "highs" (hiss) from the audio of the receiver. The carrier setpoints can do the same thing. The pair of 2.4 stock filters normally

Where will this new Inrad roofing filter for the Omni VI go? In place of Y1 or in place of Y2? Changing Y2 will affect SSB TX, unless there is some kind of additional switching circuitry added. Or wi
Hi Tommy and group, Inrad roofing filter for the Plus is going to be selectable, using the N1 and/or the N2 button on the front panel. The filter is housed in the Inrad standard filter enclosure, and
Since I have an Omni V there's only on NAR filter so only one choice. As with my Omni VI not + or option 3. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com h
I can hear no clicks at all into my sidetone when using my G4ZPY straight key ! Listen on another RX, not sidetone. Yes. In many (perhaps most) rigs the side tone has very little relation to the actu
