My boys and I cleaned Mike's shack out today. He had a Ten-Tec Omni V with the matching Power Supply/Speaker. I can't find any info regarding what I should ask for when I sell it. It is in fine shape and works well. Any advice?

I'm guessing $800? There are some upgrades such as filters and maybe the N4PY chip and such.
Ron prolly knows more about it, I don't have one. Nice radio. :yes:
Ten Tec reflector and/or Facebook page. Ask, and most will be helpful.
Thanks Dave,
The Ten-Tec reflector has so far been pretty disappointing. Only 1 person commented and I think his guess is low. He said $400 to $500 for both rig and power supply/speaker.
I'll see if I can find Ten-Tec on Facebook.
And as luck would have it. I went to N4PY's website tonight to buy the DDS Kit for the Omni D Model C. He's out of business. I wish he'd have given some warning......I'd wouldn't have purchased my TM-D700A and used the money on his kit instead. :(
Yea, I saw that too. Somebody can and will fill that DDS hole...
I sure hope so...that non operational OmniD is taking up allot of desk space.Quote:

Let me check on something... Ah, so, I think you meant the N4YG site. Right prefix, wrong suffix!
N3ZI sells DDS kits, I've heard good things about them. Might be worth checking into?
Missed that callsign mix-up, and I'm even an N4PY software subscriber/abuser. :lol:
Yes, there are other kits, but the discontinued ones seem to be less fiddly.
I have a cranky Omni-D that I would love to "DDS". But, it still works.
Yes, I mixed up the callsign! DOH!
I'll still keep finding a way to get this old rig on the air.
On a side note, I scored a Kenwood TS-520 at Peoria's Superfest for $125. The rig works so well, and looks almost new.......
Does a TS-520 count as a boat anchor?
who cares what ya call it, $125 and it works is a win.Quote:
