I talked to Ten Tec and Paul Clinton of their service dept says the Omni 6+ has NO RELAYS in it! Is that true? i thought my problem may be a TR relay in the rig. R there none in the Omni 6+?? U know,
CORRECTION, guys! I talked to Paul again and it looks as tho there ARE relays in the Omni 6+. Just not a TR relay. the relays r band specific and so far every band i can work has the problem. but i'm
Goodness! There must have been some misunderstanding between you and Paul because he surely knows that there are a number of relays in the OMNI 6+. Look at the schematic of the low pass filter board
Bob, I had a similar problem with my OMNI VI plus and traced the problem to a bad, intermittent, coax run. I replaced several of my coaxs until I could determine which one was causing the problem. Af
Bob, Paul may be correct about an Omni VI+. And if that's what you have, I'd be inclined to listen to him. I have two Omni VI's: one upgraded to a plus with option 3; the other a straight VI. My man
Don't discount the coax connectors on the feedlines connecting to the antenna switch, either. I had a situation with one of my old A3 triband beams where, when operating QRP, SWR would rise to over

Look in your Omni VI+ manual, page 4-3. If that relay, K1 right in the middle of that diagram, which is switching the Antenna connector, at the top left of the diagram, to the "RX INPUT" middle diag
I think this was all just a mis-communication.. Good luck in your diagnostics, and please let us know what the fix was in the end... 73's Robert KA5PPX -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/te
Jim, Tnx. I c what u mean. Anyway, i took my antenna coax switch out of the line yesterday and went right to the antenna. Used the rig all day on all the bands i have antennas for. it worked fine. i'
