John,
Thank you for the suggestion. I just recently spoke with John at Ten Tec
regarding problems with the main encoder for my Omni VI+. So I ordered
one and still have to get it installed before CQWW 160. My Omni VI+ is a
late serial number radio, but I seem to be going through kind of a bad
spell with it. My Omni V lasted me 13 years without a hitch before I
traded up to the VI+. One of the reasons I went for the VI+ was the
front panel axillary switch!
Best Regards, Thomas

The axillary antenna function worked a few years ago when I last used it
with a small loop antenna, but since then something has changed. I am
trying to get all this working before CQWW160 in a couple of weeks, so I
don't have time to send it back to the factory for repair. Has anyone
else has a problem like this?
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thomas,
I had some problems with my Aux antenna circuit, but it was that the signals
from the main antenna leaked through as I recall. Anyway, the fix is to
change all those diodes. The factory has some new tougher ones--call Don Prouty
and get him to send you a pack with a few instruction notes. Also, he can
most likely fine tune your fix on the phone. I'm not at all technical, but I
did change them out in about an hour. I'm sure a tech could do it in 10
minutes!
