Well the UPS man just left a few hours ago leaving in his wake a brand new Omni VII. You only get one shot at a first impression. After allowing the radio to come up to room temperature, power was ap
First congrats, you won't be sorry. If you do a lot of CW work I suggest you get the 300 filter it makes a world of difference when theres QRM. Good luck and welcome. Ernie N1SW _____________________
There is a hardware mike gain that may need adjusting for the mike you are using. It is under the radio at the front, on the left, between the mike connector and RF/AF control A very small screwdrive
I've yet to dig up a microphone for the new rig.. So I'll leave the hard gain control set for right now. I have an old D-104 but was never happy with the audio reports from it.. to tinny, no low end.

Stuart has good points on using the D-104 with Tentec rigs. My experience falls in two categories. A good D-104 is not one that has output vs. one that does not, it is a mike with a crystal element t
Check out Heil they make a replacement element for the D104 and it works GREAT! Ernie N1SW _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.conte
Ernie, Good idea, and likely there is ample room in the D104 for a Heil element. Now, I am referring to the NON amplified D 104's. Not the CB ones with a preamp in the base. Stuart K5KVH ____________
My D-104 (non-amplified) has always gotten good reports when I get out one of my Omni D's. For the Corsair's, Paragon's and the Omni VI+, I have TenTec 705's. Just don't see any reason to not use wha
