Thanks Jerry. I suspected connector problem and will do as Bob suggested. I
appreciate you sharing your experience fixing the same problem. The radio is
great and the difficulty is just an aggravation. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW

I had similar issues with an OMNI VI and did exactly what Bob is referring
to below. As part of the cable reseating process though I also cleaned by
pins by using De-Ox and a cue tip, let it dry and replug them in. The
issue went away.
Good luck and 73
