- My OMNI 6+ has a power issue on 20m and 17m, it drops to 50w output on 20m and 15w on 17m. All other bands are okay. I've checked the output of the L.O. Mixer board, port 26, across a 50 ohm load. 16

- Gary, further testing shows that I'm not getting the clock pulse out of u13, which is a PLL. The input signal is fine. The ic is a mc145170p2, so the next step is to call TT and see if they have it.
