TT said they would repair the Omni again for no cost to me....I didn't
inquire about shipping, but am sure glad I have my Ft 990 for a back up
rig.....
It keeps chugging along.....
I suspect...and its beyond my modest test equipment to determine....that
something inside of the Omni is goes into ocillation that normally does
not.
I don't think it has anything to do with my power supply system.
I could pick up a TT power supply to feed the omni, but that would be
counterproductive.
