Had the same problem years ago.  It was the balanced modulator. It only did it in LSB.  There are 2 pot to adjust it.  I had to replace them because they were unstable.  Also check for bad solder joints around them.

My Omni 6+ has developed a problem.  Here's the scenario


All bands

LSB only

Any power level setting


Keying the rig (pushing PTT) in LSB results in RF out even though the mic gain is all the way down.  The level of RF is about 10% of the setting of the POWER OUT control (ie: set wide open, I see about 9 watts out when the mic is keyed).

This does NOT happen when USB is selected.   Radio functions fine otherwise.


Any suggestions on where to look to solve this ?

Thanks! I need my beloved Omni back and running well!
