Peter, don't take this the wrong way. But, I've never seen a 100 watt rig
only draw 12 amps. If I'm all wet here, don't be afraid to tell me. Maybe
I'm not awake yet.

Andy, Just finished a complete Omni VI+ Xmtr and Rcvr alignment. Xmtr
now
draws 12 amps for 100 watts out, but before alignment, drew 18 watts for
100
watts out. You might want to hook up a 25 amp meter and go through xmtr
bias adjustment. That was really only major thing I found in the 8 year
old rig.
After receiver alignment, got a 2dBm improvement in MDS, so that wasn't
really a significant improvement.
Lets do a CW sked with our "new" rigs next week. 73s, Peter, VE1CHS
My Omni 6+ arrived today and what a beauty. Many thanks to Don K8DJ for a
great radio quickly shipped and perfectly packed. This is more radio than
I
expected....vastly more flexible than my Omni V and the noise reduction
is
amazing.
I do have one question. When I was researching this radio, I ran
across
a simple mod (removing one mass term connector I think) to eliminate the
sidetone click in headphones. Now, of course, I can't find mention of
this
anywhere. Anybody know what I'm talking about? I'd love to do this
because
I'm about 98% CW with headphones on. Thanks.
