Hi Tim,
<div>If the work you did 3 months ago truly made it work consistently, I would
try it again.
I'm guessing you do have a reseat problem or flaky connection somewhere.
Funny story: I had a VERY intermittent problem on my Omni C that I could never
fix. Then one day I had the rig apart for another reason. I found a connection
that was never soldered at the factory. I soldered it and that intermittent
never came back.
You may have to remove circuit boards and look at the connections underneath
them.
Good Hunting,
Joe, K8MP

Subject: [TenTec] Omni D quits after 60-90 minutes
Hi all,
I'm curious if any of you have had this same problem. When my Omni D was new
(to me - bought it used) it would die after about 1 hour. By "die", I mean it
would go pretty deaf and the transmit output would go nearly to zero. I fixed
it by opening it up, reseating every circuit board, and tightening up all of
the ground lugs I could find. That was about 3 months ago. It has now started
to do it again. I'm interested to know if anyone solved it once and for all.
Meanwhile, I can go do the reseating shuffle again. It's a bit of a pain to
troubleshoot, because it's difficult to get it to occur with the covers off the
rig - apparently heat sensitive.
