Our club has an Omni6+, a fairly old model with option 3. I've nulled the carrier on it several times but it soon drifts out of null again. The suppression on LSB I think I recall correctly is particularly poor, due to the filter being assymetrical. Overall the rig is pretty poor on SSB. Is there a cure, at least for the carrier null drift?

Bob, this is something you could probably do yourself but not only will you need a VTVM but an RF probe and most of all the Ten Tec alignment process to
  null the carrier.
  I don't think TT will give out that service information.
  Could be someone on the list has it.
  And, you might find that the carrier won't null in which case another
  component has gone bad and you will need to track it down.
  Very seldom will a rig just go out of alignment all by itself unless you
  replaced something in the circuit.
You should not go about trimming any pots before checking for that type of
  problem.
