I consulted the factory on this when I got the radio a few years ago.  I 
was told, flat out, that there was no tension adjustment on the OMNI V, 
and that, yes indeed, the encoder was stiff.  

If there were changes made on some models, and they were 
backwards-compatible, I would be interested to know.
