The Omni-C was the first to have bandswitch positions marked for all three
WARC bands. Those markings were deceptive because operation on the 17 meter
band caused spurious emissions. This is because of the frequency mixing
scheme used and that scheme is identical to the Omni-A, Omni-D and Omni-B.

Hi William,
The Omni C was the last of this line of the Omni's and had all
the proper mods made. It also worked properly on the WARC bands.
I know C before D. The process was Omni A (analog)model 545; Omni
A series B, Model 545B; Omni D (digital display) model 546; Omni
D series B model 546B; Omni D series C (also known as Omni C)
Model 546C. The model 546C was the only one with the WARC bands
that worked properly, others has spurs due to choice of IF
frequencies.
Here is a good web site that tells about the different ten-tec
equipment. http://www.qsl.net/tentec/

Jim, why the Omni C before the Omni D?
