Re: [TenTec] Omni D SWR/S unit meter help

Hmm, if it sometimes works both ways, I would use high itensity light 
and a magnifier to examine, (and then touch up) all solder joints in the 
metering circuits.  You may have a bad connection to the meter pivor 
spring or coil, but more likely it could be the solder joing inside the 
meter or the connections to the meter.  Do you have a meter of same or 
higher current rating that you could sub in the circuit just to see if 
you get constant meter action in either SWR or S meter mode?   It does 
not have to be an exact match to the original meter, just have full 
scale the same or higher, just to check that it is not a connection 
inside the origiinal meter.
