I think a "very fine hair" is being split here. When this "hair" is measured in dB units instead of linear units the loses become insignificant. While yes the old balanced match boxes are technically
I would be more interested in actual measurements than theoretical calculations. Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA If you do the thermal calculations on the cores commonly used in these chokes you'll find
I was wondering about thermal measurements (temperature rise) since everyone here seems to be fretting about power losses and burning up magnetics, wirewond inductive elements and band switches. Don

Yes I know that - I can read too. Just a historical evolution of the market. I am currently trying to find a type QC male to 7/16 DIN adapter female adapter - no luck. 73, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, W
Just picked up a OMNI 6, looking for the Ten Tec matching power supply. Thanks & 73 Don Jones Arlington, WA 425-330-6496 (cell) _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Ten
So is the correct power supply the Model 692? Don And that was only true up to the Omni VI+. They stopped that when they switched to the 963 PS. So with the Orions, Omni VII, and Eagle, you may use a
Ron, My thoughts exactly. Nothing wrong with the Astron other than it is about as cute as Janet Reno... 73, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA --Original Message-- _________________________________________
Is the power supply in question a switching power supply? Hard to believe a linear pass element type supply would be generating birdies. 73, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA Hello , I have been having so
I have one "stealth" dipole antenna that I keep in reserve for portable operations when camping with my 5th wheel. It is made out of #20 Grey Teflon insulated wire and has loops at the end of each el
The Teflon insulated wire is used in the aerospace industry for aircraft wiring and is pretty expensive. I rescued the "end of a spool" out of a cart that was headed for the dumpster at work. Regardi
OK, so I am looking at the OEM TenTec Filters in my Omni 6 and they are matched crystals (I assume) on a piece of G10 circuit board material. I look at the INRAD filters and they are inside a nice Fa
Ditto what Jerry said. To do such a mod without a change to the output tank circuit is reckless. Nice power supply redesign effort but unfortunately this job is only half done (or baked). Hams have a
This past week someone posted a note and mentioned they were using a Elecraft XV50 6M Transverter with their OMNI 6 (I think). Anyways I have lost the message, I have some questions regarding the hoo
Hi Jim, I would very like to purchase that INRAD 400 Hz #753 filter for the 9 MHz IF. Would you take $75 +$5 for shipping? Thanks, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA Hello everyone, I'm going to have some
No kidding - 2 OMNI VI+'s for sale in one day. Interesting... kind like the TS-850's. Neal, I found the comments regarding the drop in replacement chips encouraging. I have saved that message and cur
I just picked up a 1st IF 400Hz InRad Filter. Checked my OMNI VI manual and it says follow the instructions included with the filter. That helps a lot if you have those instructions. HI HI. When I pu
Neal, My OMNI VI with OPT 3, it is not a VI+. I have been monkeying around with the DIP switch on the INRAD roofing filter cca and the jumper next to the "narrow filter". It seems as though the OEM n
John 'CQ and John 'RE, Good points guys. I do have the TT 250Hz CW Filter in the 2nd IF. Which pretty much matches what John has described. I do notice that things are reasonable using the INRAD Roof
Very nice job Jerry. 73, Don Jones KO7i Arlington, WA I use an external speaker passive low pass filter to tone down high frequency howling in my receiver audios when needed. I have a couple circuits
