First off, thanks to all those who replied with help on my dead TX. It is now
fixed after replacing numerous components it turned out to be a broken wire
input to the Low Level Driver. What a great way to get to know a radio--spend a
few hours taking it apart!
I do, however, have some more questions. I have read many posts but am still
unclear on a few items:
1) I know the Omni A, D , C, series B etc etc has been beaten to death and I
think I have a good handle on it. However, I think "my rig is different"
because of the following:
-I purchased it used as an Omni D Ser B.
-the ser number reads 545-0622
-the back heat sink reads "HF Tran. 545 Series B, Ten-Tec etc...
-the front panel has all bands 160 thru 10 as well as all WARC bands (Not aux
pos's) dial positions.
-3 way Crystal filter switch w/filters
-3 way audio switch
-Notch filter, Noise Blanker dials, REF Atten etc etc.
-the manual I rec'd with the rig and matching model 255 pwr supply refer to
diagrams, etc with Ser C written on it.
To all external appearance it looks like a ser C ??
Is it possible some parts were mixed and matched? (the radio orig came from
Tenessee) or is what I have a Ser B with all the options? I thought the Ser B
was a 546, and even then only had Aux pos for WARC. If not a ser c what else
would it have?
All that said, to have 18Mhz, what do I require, Just a x-tal or an entire kit?
A long winded multi question post I realize, but I am trying to get up to speed
as quickly as I can.
Kind regards,
Scott VA3ZW
