121. Re: [TenTec] OMNI VI Chirp Report (score: 1)

I am wondering if others have received similar reports and if anyone has changed the keying waveform on the OMNI VI. Joe: If you check the TT archives from about 10-12 years ago, you'll see plenty of

Don, I understand T-T changed the transmit audio/BFO board crystal frequency adjustment from 9.000700 mHz to 9.000400 mHz. Apparently this was done as part of eliminating the small chirp. First, not

Well it seems that Don is very happy with the Logic EPROM version 1.02 solution, but Paul says it only partially masks the problem at the expense of QSK. What is the effect on QSK? I guess I will jus

Don's input helped to shake some cobwebs loose... TT initially shifted the CW BFO from the USB crystal. Then, I believe in an effort to help eradicate the chirp, a later design shifted the LSB crysta

To answer Carl's question, there is a problem with keying, but I would not call it chirp. I do not hear a change in frequency across the cw dot or dash. I do not like the sound of what I hear. Joe, I

Is it limited to 7.0 - 7.3 MHz? No, I now see that is it much broader than just 40M. From my location, signal strength is about +35/S9 at any time of day. So, it does appear to be some form of govern

I'm trying to think of a modern Ten-Tec radio that doesn't use a relay for T/R switching, and can't think of one! Their reed relays are plenty fast enough and I see no real benefit over PIN diode swi

I believe the Argo V DOES use diode switching. The pin diodes used are exotic 1N4007. The Omni 6/6+ also uses a handful of 1N4007 diodes as part of the T/R circuit, particularly for the 2nd Rx port.

The Omni VI/VI+ used a reed relay for T/R switching, even tho they may have used diodes in the circuit. Remember all the complaints about how some folks could hear their relay and others couldn't? :-

I did replace the T/R relay in my Omni VII with a Matsushita/Aromat RS-12D reed relay, made specifically for RF switching. I need to correct myself. That should have read Matsushita/Aromat RSD-12V. T
