[TenTec] OMNI VI + RIT

[Ken Kinyon]

Jeff,
there are two push buttons in top row to the right of tuning know.  one is
labeled RIT and one XIT.
the turn on/off RIT and XIT.  if depressed for about one second they zero the
RIT/XIT.  there is no need for a center detent as using the pushbuttons to zero
makes this unnecessary.  the Omni-vi+ also allows the rit/xit to zero by pushing
the clear button.
73,
Ken

I operated an Omni VI while visiting W1AW last week. That was the first
time I'd ever operated the Omni VI or even seen one close up. I never
could find a way to turn the RIT control off and there was no center
detent on the adjustable RIT control. That was a little annoying to me
and is a concern as I consider the Omni VI+ for my home station.

Did I just miss the RIT off/on switch or does no one but me see this as
problematic?

Other than that one thing the Omni VI was a joy to operate. Plus, I got
to see the Omni VI that is being used for code practice. It was a very
enjoyable visit, my first to ARRL and W1AW.

Vy 73,
