I don't know for sure but can tell you that it uses the same mixing
scheme as the black Omni rigs. Those rigs will not properly work 17
meters because they use a 9 MHz IF. The local oscillator operating at
about 9 MHz doubles and is radiated. There are other spurious mixed
products that are also transmitted on or about 18 MHz that vary with the
tuning of the PTO. When I put my Omni-C on 17 meters, it would put out
2 or 3 watts KEY UP.
