I let the smoke out of my beloved Omni 6 finals. Any leads? Any parts rigs?
There was a nice 6+ at Shelby, but of course mine was then working fine. Oh
well.

The complete owner's manual has what amounts to a service manual included
with detailed circuit descriptions and adjustment procedures, and I found
there actually was an alignment procedure at Ten Tec. I forwarded both to
you by email as was sent to me yesterday.
Ten Tec still will do repairs on this radio as the parts are typically not
made from unobtanium, but it is fairly easy to work on if you are
comfortable with classic printed circuits with discreet components in
through-hole board mounts. No surface mount stuff here!
The major and Minor loop boards are the 2 closest to the top front of the
radio and seen when you take off the aluminum cover (under the cabinet
cover) on the left side facing the radio. This is the area where an optional
FM board would have been mounted. The manual will give clear descriptions of
these boards. As a first "fix", just reseat all the connections going to and
from the boards in this area and back to the processor. It might be
something as simple as a dirty connection, but more likely the classic PLL
solder problem.

For inclusion in the TenTec Omni VI forum...
Comparing normal band condx with my FT102, my Omni VI receiver has suddenly
died though the transmit side works as per normal..
I can also pick up the cw output from a very QRP signal from my FT102..
Have tried all the usual permutations with antenna connections etc Omni factory
reset and dc check on the T/R relay on the band-pass filter board..
I'm rather stuck on where to go next and wondered if any-one may have an
answer..

Are you able to inject a 50uV signal into the antenna jack and trace it
down the receive chain? Do you you have test equipment?

Thanks yours Barry regrettably my test equipment is very limited and looking
inside the O-6 certainly looks a lot more formidable than my dear old Corsair2
along with the added problem of age (78) and failing eyesight say no more...
Will have a go at the receive chain simply bridging the antenna by following
the diagram..
Bear with me..
