John,
I think it is sold. Guy is to pick up & pay on Tue. I'll let you know either
way
I had 3 of them and loved every one. Better than my Corsair II's were.
Now I run an Omni VII and an Orion II. Neither one beats the Omni VI+ Rx. But I
gotta thin the herd
Congrats on age 76. Hope you have many, many more. Age here is 69
Best DX & 73

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Omni VI+ For Sale
Dave, I have an Omni Six Plus and like it very much. I think I have had it over
20 years. I don't know why, but I feel that I would like to own another one. I
have learned that Ten Tec will not accept them in trade because of the age of
the gear. Stan Brock, at Ten Tec, told me that recently.
I am almost 76 and I know your position regarding being shaky. I recently had
Cataract surgery and am wearing bifocals for computer, reading and and radio
service on "boatanchors". I don't do any repair on my solid state or printed
circuit stuff.
In a bind, my son N5ASM, Extra Class and Engineer can be talked into taking a
look at a piece of gear.
I owned TWO Collins KWM 380 transceivers at the same time, when Rockwell
Collins announced that they would no longer offer parts and repair support for
the KWM 380. I kinda panicked and sold them both, because I couldn't work on
them and N5ASM was spending half of his time flying Coast to Coast as Vice
president of engineering for his company.
I have been licensed for 56 years and my wife, K5MOL, has been licensed for 53
years so N5ASM is a full blooded eligible for registration electronics hound. I
have told K5MOL, my business manager ( life manager for 54 years) that I am
interested in your Omni VI Plus. She managed a GRUNT, which is a hopeful sign.
So much for the Old Fart Filibuster, Dave. 73, John, K5PGW

Roofing Filter
InRad Roofing Filter Mod installed with InRad # 763 600 Hz Filter
This is a true Omni VI+
Excellent physical condition
The caveat,
While it works perfectly otherwise, both the 17M & 20M bands are dead. This
indicates diode D37 on the L.O. board. However, with age, I have developed a
quiver in my hands which precludes making a repair.
Therefore, the rig must go to a better home
I will sell to USA only
$800 includes shipping & insurance via FedEX to lower 48
KL7 & KH6 must pay higher shipping
I can take PayPal, USPS MO or personal check (check must clear before
shipment).
Of course the manual is included
Transceiver is sold “AS IS”
