Start by checking and adjusting the BFO frequencies. These must be correct first. Then on to the master oscillator.

The procedure is outlined in detail in the manual. Do follow the exact sequence as listed in the manual and don't skip any steps or perform them out of order.

Well after further examination this is NOT where I need to be - hi. It looks like that is the locking crystal for all the "logic" - duh!

More serious examination is in order!

I have recently acquired and Omni VI. The rig has seen little use in the last 10 years but it is working VERY well with a minor exception. The rig is slightly off frequency (about 150 Hz) - even after a significant warm-up.


Looking at the schematic, I have found the crystal oven on the Logic Board (81606). It looks like the crystal frequency can be tweaked with C31. This is an early O-6 and it has the crystal oven.


Other than C31, are there any other adjustments I should be considering?


Thanks.
