Yep. That is what Ten-Tec says is "within specs" for the
Omni VI. And if you take it to them and they align it
perfectly, it will read correctly when you get it back. But
then, in a month or two, it will again be off. My Omni VI is
off that same 30 Hz and has been for months. I have learned
to live with it. It is the price you pay for not having a
freq-synthesized rig. The benefit is better poor signal
reception. Or so they say.

Subject: [TenTec] Ten Tec Performance
I own a 1000mp and just bought a omni 6 plus from
ten-tec..of course a mike
andpower supply and all filters..over 3000 dollars by the
time it
arrives....I objectively try to compare the two rigs..first
I notice the 20
meter display is off 30 hertz...call the factory..thats
normal! That's
normal on a 3000 dollar radio???? I notice other annoying
"normal"
glitches...cw click on qsk, drift,etc.....Do I have a dud or
is this what I
get???? The 1000mp is a lot more receiver and
transmitter...no matter how I
look at it...and after spending this much money I have trid
to justify it,
believe me...comments????? Had to build an pre-amp to use
the gold line
mike as well-it wouldn't drive the tentec!!!! jon k1tp
