Yes, I've had the same problem. For the first 6 months of its life the clock
ran several minutes slow a week (6-7) which was a little disconcerting, but
then it started keeping time from some dimension outside of earth. (Hi!) I
tried turning off the power supply vs. leaving it on and saw no difference in
time lost. Finally called the factory and they offered the option of repairing
it under warrantee or sending me the replacement crystal and instructions for
doing it myself. I opted for the latter but have not performed the minor
surgery due to work commitments. It looks like it is not a difficult repair,
and one of the techs walked me through the process. I do need to borrow a
frequency counter to adjust the period to the specified value. Since I haven't
done the repair yet, I can't vouch that this is the problem.

Subject: [TenTec] OMNI6+ clock
Anyone ever have any problems with the digital clock on the front panel of
the
OMNI 6+??? It seems to work alright some times, especially when you go into
the menu to reset it. However, when the radio is turned off via the power
supply, sometimes the clock goes beserk. It changes the minutes or hours by
itself or both! Is it the battery backup for memories and clock? Could it
be something on one of the boards? I just had an option 3 upgrade not to
long ago. The clock seem to work fine before the upgrade. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
