Hi Reid,
I own a omni 5 wich is rather similar with omni 6 (bfo board, same
i.f.). I had a mismatch in the carrier oscillator and my lsb didn't
sound like my usb. There was also a little carrier (1W closing the ptt
and rapidly decreasing to 500mW).
I had to tune first the carrier oscillator properly for lsb and usb. I
used a ic706 approaching a little coax loop to tune that.
Then I locked the tx "on" with no mic connected and adjust for null
carrier on usb and lsb. You have to tune two variable pot. be careful,
everything is interdependent. so you must repeat several time the tuning
switching from lsb to usb.
I monitor the carrier with the same coax loop connected to my ic706
receiver.
I think all these adjustments must be carefully done, and it is very
simple to do it by yourself on a tentec.
This is why I love my rig, I can't imagine doing the same adjustment in
the little ic706 !
Hope this will help you,
73 de Marc f6iiv (sorry for my english, there's a strong french carrier
on it !).
