There was once a kit available from Tentec for this, now long gone. WB5JNC and
I have been bouncing ideas around on this subject for a couple of months. I
finally implemented some of them and modded my Omni D for 10 MHz transmit last
week. (Yes - this is the same Omni that quits on me after an hour or so!) I
have started writing up the mod at the Tentec Wiki, keep an eye on this page:

I have only had time to make a couple of QSOs on 30m so far, but signal reports
were good. As far as I can tell without a spectrum analyzer, the output is
clean. I listened for likely spurs with a general coverage RX, and the ones
that were there were weak, with the receiver sitting basically right under the
antenna. Power output is consistent with the bands surrounding it - that is,
20m and 40m. My Omni is a little bit lower-powered on those lower bands, higher
on 15m and 10m.

> Perhaps one of you old time TENTEC gurus that lived through the
birthcycle of this rig can help me. It is a Model 545 S/N 0025 . Early
production . The front panel has a 10.0 Mhz position on it , but there is
noapparent circuitry in the radio for generating output on that band. Is
there someone aboard the net here , that can advise me of sourcesfor
obtaining materials / info / tips / etc on executing the necessarysteps to take
to get this rig fired up on 30 Meters. Thanks to anyone who can offer help
, in advance. 73 Dave W1DWZ
