Hi all, I'm toying with the idea of getting a "non digital" rig. I'd like to have most of the capability of an Omni VI without any PLLs. Just crystals and a PTO. I don't care if it can operate in any

There were many of them, BUT, most of them had digital displays. The actual radio was analog, but the display was digital. Off the top of my head: Original Argonauts: 505, 509, 515. Tritons: I,II IV,
Hands down, without a second thought. Omni-A. I had one and without question was probably one of the best if not the best receiver TT made. I did the CW mod as suggested by Steve N4LQ and the improve
What does this mod do? Is it a mod to an audio or RF stage? What is the problem without the mod? DE N6KB _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com htt
Ken, here is a reference Steve made on another subject but included this blurb also. This is from May,2000 so the original posting shouldn't be too hard to find. It truly picks up the audio response

Hi Ken, I think all of the TT's before the OMNI V, Paragon are non-digital except for the display on some. My choice would be 1st a Corsair II, 2nd Corsair, 3rd Omni C, 4th any other Omni A,D etc. If
Jim, why the Omni C before the Omni D? William Lee _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec

Hi William, The Omni C was the last of this line of the Omni's and had all the proper mods made. It also worked properly on the WARC bands. I know C before D. The process was Omni A (analog)model 545
The Omni-C was the first to have bandswitch positions marked for all three WARC bands. Those markings were deceptive because operation on the 17 meter band caused spurious emissions. This is because
As I understand it, one of the major differences between the Corsair and Corsair II is the roofing filter (4-pole vs. 6-pole). Can a Corsair be retrofitted with the later filter easily or are there o
Perhaps a better way to think about it IF scheme wise is that the Corsair is like the Omni A/D/C series but has the 6.3MHz IF (started with the 580 Delta) for PBT and narrow BW IF filtering. Once out
Jim, It appears you didn't do your homework correctly. :-) A few years back I posted a message that I will paste below. The Omni C does have the WARC bands but as Mike, N4NT, pointed out, it isn't ve
thanks John for that information overload (smile) I had to read it several times to follow everything but your summary at the end helped. Man, TT was sure confusing these radios with everybody, and s
Guys, I just picked up an Omni A Series B with Both filters (500hz & 1.8kc) and power supply. I'm looking forward to getting on 40 meters CW with it, I should have it by the weekend. Thanks for all t
Speaking of the Omnis -- I have an Omni D, first (original) series, upgraded to a series B. The first series had a wonderful audio filter, great for cw. So in the upgraded Omni D, you can still hook
Craig: Yes, you can put the 8-pole filter into the original Corsair. It is just a plug-in substitution. It makes a noticeable improvement in the skirt selectivity. I don't remember the part number bu
As some on the list may recall, at one point, Ten-Tec had a "special" on the Corsair -- a free upgrade from the 4-pole to the 8-pole filter, done at the dealer. It was a good selling point; but I do
Don't think this has been answered (?) If not, the answer is Yes. Just pull one out and push the other in. Bob KB1CIW Corsair & Scout _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing li
