- | ====== Omni V Disable Amp Relay Mod ====== | ||
- | **From Ten Tec Reflector July 4, 1998** | ||
- | I installed an SPST toggle switch on the upper left corner of the back panel (above all the connections. I interuppted the signal to the base of the relay driver transistor and ran it through the switch. I can reach over the radio and toggle the switch when I want to engage the amp. Otherwise I operate with the relay silenced. | ||

- | It is a ten minute mod except you have to drill a small hole in the back-ouch! I hate to deface anything- but no one sees it and it doesn't really look out of place. Wonder why TT didn't do it in the first place? | ||
- | |||
- | The Omni VI silences the relay in software, but you have to scroll through the menu sytem to do it. Simple old me- I prefer the switch! | ||

- | I have done the same as John, except I didn't mount my switch on the rear panel. | ||
- | |||
- | Instead, I found (after a lot of head scratching) a spot to get through the rear panel with a piece of RG-174 and have the switch lying underneath the front of the radio, just behind the bail wire. I sneaked through the rear panel beside the power connector. There's plenty of space for a couple of conductors, but I | ||
- | used RG-174. | ||
