Two solutions. A can of freeze mist and a hair dryer, or a shipping box
to Tennessee.
Its almost sure to be heat sensitive so heat and cool a board at a time
until you find the one that has effect, then heat and cool smaller and
smaller segments of that board until you get it down to the part. Could
easily be a solder problem or a breaking connection inside a part.
You could also shotgun cleaning all the cable and card edge connections
with Deoxit by Cramolin.

Lately my omni V has been acting up. When I first power up there is little or
no receive--if there is, its often some odd ball shortwave freq. Then, as it
warms up, it tunes to the correct freq as displayed, but the audio is very
garbled and distorted. After about 40 min (warmed up) it often clears up and
acts normal. It has also gone back to being garbled after an hour or so even
once it had 'corrected itself'. It would seem its just not receive as during
one qso I was told my audio had become distorted--and the receive had become
distorted again as well.
Would appreciate anyone who may have had similar problems/fixes providing input.
