Re: [TenTec] Omni VII Problems

["Lee Armitage" <LEE@GJ.NET>]

Suggest checking the DC voltage as it enters the rig (on the plug) for low 
voltage or voltage drop on XMIT.
Simple to check and simple to fix with larger wire. Should be almost no drop 
of voltage at all.
The Omni VII and Orion I and II are computers in a box with knobs and 
buttons on the front.
They both get very unhappy about low voltage or voltage drop as do all 
CPU's.
Good luck and 73,
