- The latest issue of Radio Communications has a good (i.e., informative)
- review of the OMNI VI. THe respected reviewer notes that the Ten Tec
- still has the very best close in selectivity and performance of any rig
- available to amateurs. The margin is as much as 20 db better than the
- high priced competition.

- Subject: SWR/CB question.
- To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
-
- Sorry to post this here, but I got no responses on the CB group...bear
- with me.
-
- I have a couple of questions about a CB problem. I have an
- ancient SBE Brute CB which I inherited. I purchased a new antenna, and
- hooked up the thing to an SWR meter.
- 1. For one thing, the connectors between the antenna and coax
- don't lend themselves to SWR-meter hookup. I hooked up the meter between
- the radio and the coax. Is this useless? Does it have to go between coax
- and antenna?
- 2. Also, thanks to some substance (syrup, honey, tar...) on the
- mic button, the radio got stuck on transmit whilst I unhooked the SWR
- meter. A minute later, I smelled that telltale smell, and noticed that
- the chassis was hot. What is likely to have been damaged? The measured
- (A la #1) SWR reading was somewhat lower than before, but the radio still
- seems to work. Is this something I can fix? What should I replace? Is
- this living fossil worth it? Any suggestions are much appreiated.
