Ade Weiss - in His Joy of Qrp book, talks about intersecting the drive
to the final transister in earlier Tentec rigs, like the 540 - and
feeding the final transister from a separate power lead, using a
variable resister - I never did the mod, not sure if it would work on
ssb -
can't find my copy of book as I am still unpacking from recent move.
Maybe someone on the list could give you that info or you could
contact Ade for a copy of the book - I believe the principal of the
modification would work on any of the TenTec rigs through 546, 580

Hi All !!!!
Might be a stupid question but here goes ................
I have a Omni D which I use QRP by turning down the drive which is
fine
.......... BUT is there any way it can be QRP otherwise ????
With some bands the power will slowly creep up and I find my self
checking
power on a very regular basis...... I have the ALC turned all the
way down
on the front panel.
I realize that maybe I should get a QRP rig but its not in the
budget now
and I enjoy the Omni ............ I have my heart set on a Argosy
525
....... :)
Any ideas ?????
