Sounds like those need an alignment as well. Perhaps a previous owner has
"tweaked" the radio a bit. The Omni series radios have a very specific
alignment procedure that must be followed. It does require a signal
generator capable of known and accurate frequency and known output level as
well as a frequency counter of known accuracy.
Diddling with the radio with unknown test equipment accuracy will likely end
up with a radio performing as you indicate.
