- First, does it only on a few select bands, or on all bands? If one or two bands only chances are it is a hetrodyne crystal that has aged and is going out of lock. Some of those crystals are used one

- Thanks, Pete I didnt check all the bands carefully or systematically. I heard it on several. Ill go back and be more careful about it. And yes, it seems to happen after it has been on for a while. bu

- Pete, could you share the procedure you mentioned? I have a OMNI VI that I love. PLL board has the two PLL circuits out of sync, I have no continous frequency output from VFO anymore. Checked and tri

- Yes, Pete. Id appreciate receiving that procedure as well. It makes a lot of sense and I feel more encouraged to give it a try! My problem definitely only shows up after the rig warms up Thanks again

- That warbling can also be caused by a HFO crystal that is trying to phase lock to the master oscillator. The PLL will sweep the oscillator loop voltage trying to achieve a locked condition. I've had

- If you adjust those inductors in the band select oscillators be very careful. It is easy to wear out the threads in the slugs and/or the coil forms the slugs screw in. It is also easy break the adjus
