Yep, they said the same thing when my Omni VI decided to 
sporadically (maybe once in 3 times, now -- the problem seems
to have become worse) change tuning rates when I turn the rig on.
Ten-Tec blamed the power supply (also a Ten-Tec, which I had used
for years without mishap on an Omni V).

(By the way, I assume you are already following their instruction
about turning on the 961 before turning on the power switch on
the rig?)

Nope, power supply is fine... 

In my case, the tuning rate setting often locks up at the 0.85/turn 
rate, and it wouldn't let me change the setting without doing a major 
reset.  I used to solve the problem by using my trustworthy FT-990, 
instead.  But I had to un-mothball the Omni after setting up the 
FT-990 at the YL's QTH.  So I am back fighting the tuning rates on
the Omni VI again.
