Hi All,

 

I've had this OMNI - D since 1998, bought from the original owner who had had 
it serviced prior to sale, however all the time I've had it, the rig has been 
very "touchy"  The circuit breaker on the 252M power supply trips often.  I was 
told by a couple of local TenTec users to consult this list, and that it could 
be an issue with the power supply or the ALC circuitry - which I have never 
quite understood how to set.  

 

FYI, I am on an 88 ft doublet antenna, fed with ladder line on an MFJ antenna 
tuner.  I can tune at low power, but when I go above a few watts I am operating 
on the edge of shutdown.  There is no evidence of stray RF, as I get reports of 
a clean signal when I do get on the air.  

 

Also I am currently using the same antenna/tuner setup on a loner Icom rig, and 
everything is fine.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
