I saw the other thread about the Eagle woes during the IARU contest this weekend.  My Omni VI ran during a lot of it as well.  It started throwing a bit of a fit near the end.  We were both tired I guess :)  At times when it switched from transmit back to receive, receive would be several S units lower than previously.  It would take a few cycles of transmit to receive in order to get the receive back to "normal"  It seem to do it more on 20 and 15 meters.  I didn't really notice it when I switched to 40 meters or the very few I worked on 80 meters.  Wonder if some of the relays on the low pass board are acting flaky?   If so, does anyone know if the relays in the Omni VI are the same as the ones in the Jupiter?  I have a bunch of the ones for the Jupiter.  Would be great if they are the same.
