Hi,

I'm a new Omni V owner. The radio has been great, but I have two concerns.

First, although I can tune WWV with exactly a 10.000.00 indication on the freq. 
display, I notice that I have to tune about 250 Hz higher on 160 to 
successfully tune SSB signals. I've asked a couple guys to check their freqs 
and they do not agree with mine. Any thoughts?

Second, when operating on the lower bands (ie. 160) and using the noise 
blanker, I notice that a strong CW signal will cause signal clicks across most 
of the low end of the band. When I turn the noise blanker off, the problem goes 
away. I can forsee difficulty in contests and have already had trouble during a 
pileup hearing the DX station because of this. Has anyone else noticed this 
problem?

Thanks,
Chris, WK2W
