Let's beat this thing to death here....Two weeks ago, I sat through the whole SS CW Contest with the 'clicks'. I even ran the sidetone down to zero (off) and the clicks were still present in the inte
When you find the answer, maybe it will also give me an answer to why my Ten-Tec 1340 QRP Transceiver clicks so badly on it's sidetone. I put in the mod recommended by TT, but it still clicks much to
Dale, Have you tried disconnecting plug 52 on the IF/AF Circuit Board? My Omni had the same problem and after bypassing the sidetone "wraparound" circuit, the problem went away completely. If you hav

Disconnecting plug 52 did not reduce the speaker/headphone click when I performed this mod 3 weeks ago. I agree that it is ANNOYING and NOT in keeping w/ the performance I expect from a Ten Tec, a ri
Many others have reported that this has fixed their Omni Six's clicking problem. Don't let John's remarks discourage you from at least trying the disconnection of plug 52. You've got nothing to lose

I agree, DO try any suggestion! I sure do...and I hope I stumble on the solution for my particular rig... Catch you on SS today, here and there... John K7FD Team N7SG, Oregon Section http://www.netbr
I have a suspicion that not all Omni VI+'s have this problem. I'm usually annoyed by this kind of thing (and traded my Centaur on a Centurion due to noise). But I don't hear a "click" on the sidetone

Having had no less than 2 Omni V1's, I can vouch for the click. A friend of mine bought a brand new Omni VI Plus and it had the same problem. Here are some things I remember 1. The click was only not

Steve, Disconnecting connector 52 actually improves the QSK turnaround time because the CMOS 4066 quad-bilateral switch is bypassed. However, the more I hear of this problem, the more I'm inclined t
Hi Steve and ALL; In light of this report, I would say it looks like an adjustment problem, IE it may be adjusted out using an alignment procedure, or adjusted in using the same alignment procedure d

I am sorry to report that after making the modifications outlined in my previous message, I can hear NO improvement in the clicking. Again, this is NOT key clicks. The click is extremely noticeable i
Strange! I have the same problem with my little QRP kit from TT. I put in the resistor mod, and took out a capacitor, but the clicks are still there. They do not appear to be key clicks. To: <tentec@
The cure may be to replace the 2.4 kHz filter with an INRAD 2.8kHz filter. Seems that in some VI+ rigs, the CW sidetone one hears is on the skirt of the 2.4 kHz filter always in the signal path. Rep
I don't think the 2.8 kHz filter addresses clicks. I think it addresses the slight "chirp" (not the right definition, but what we've called it on the reflector) that some Omni-VI's seem to demonstrat
