Re: [TenTec] OMNI6 PLUS Alignment procedure needed

["John Cox" <jecox@tri-lakes.net>]

I have an Omni 6 and an Omni 6+ and the manuals seem to be pretty detailed 
to me.  Most of the manual is devoted to descriptions of componets and 
service information.
What is it that I am missing here?  I would think that with the information 
supplied that any person with an electronics back ground could service them.
I would like to sell one of them.
The 6 has a 500 cycle filter in the 9 MC slot and option 1 installed. The 6+ 
has a 1.8 MC and 500 cycle filter in the 9 MC slots.
I want $1000 shipped to 48 states for the 6 or $1300 shipped to 48 states 
for the 6+
Both are in very good condition.  Being an amature amature radio operator I 
cant see any difference in their performance other than the extra filter in 
the 6+?
The 6 + had a power problem when I bought it and is recently back from 
Ten-tec where it had some pin diodes replaced and an alignment.
