Blair - Been searching for you re the finals, etc. Go Google and then search "TenTec argosy finals". At the bottom of this page, go to "more on this subject". The info you want is there. Don, VE1BN
Puck - I had one built in '97 and it was the early model. Sold it. Try for one with a '99 production. These have surface-mounted components and no birdies and really work well. The last number in the
Ci - Your OMNI 6+ must have had factory improvements over the real early ones because you do not seem to have any problem with birdies, etc. Glad to hear it. 73 - Don, VE1BN
Joe - I have an excellent T-T #217 filter, like new, taken from a OMNI 6+. Give me your phone number or email address. Asking $55 US plus $5 mailing. Don, ve1bn@eastlink.ca
Alex - I have a spare TenTec #961 power supply. Unfortunately to ship it to Poland would be very expensive. It weighs approximately 6.6 kg but packed in a safe wooden crate would weigh about 9-10 kg
George - Interested in a Ten-Tec 6 meter converter? Have a T-T 1208 here that is in perfect condition, operation and no dings, etc. Don't work 6M, it was just an experiment to see what was going on t
Hi John - Have not located the pot value on my OMNI 6+ schematic either. Now I'm as curious as you are. My pot covers over full two dial marks (55 degrees) between 15 and 30 wpm. Not much room for a
John - Right - my keyer is also kit made. Dave Bowker has suggested a sure way to measure the value of the pot, and a way to broaden the control's range. Give him a shout for the info he will give yo
John - Try a 5K 1/8 Watt resistor across the two outer lugs on the pot itself. This should stretch the range of the knob. Another and better way is to just use a 10-turn 10K pot. Just substitute it f
John - Perhaps you should follow the instruction that Dr. Gerald N. Johnson has suggested. Obviously paralleling a resistor in this case doesn't seem to work. Guess Paul at T-T is correct. Too bad th
John - My Bourns 10-turn pot (Part # 3540S-1-103) is about 15/16ths inch behind the panel when mounted properly. Have you tried that resistor between the brown and red (purple)? The idea is to have t
Thanks John. Great idea to use a 5-turn pot. Yes, please let me know how it goes. Am sure others are following your experiment and I bet when you get things working as you want, those other 3 pots wo
Hey Gary - We got the advantage. On CW with narrow filters, etc., why worry? Even in amongst SSB chatter, CW can be copied. SSB can't when sideband splatter messes things up for them. 73 to all you C
John - Don't you just need to take the end plastics off the panel and then just loosen the two top screws. The panel then will lean out and allow you to get inside to do things. You tried this, as pe
John - Thanks. I hadn't realized it would be sohard to get at to change the pot, but glad you made it. Sounds like you got the range you wanted. Congrats! Good luck and hope we can have a QSO one day
