[TenTec] Omni V Mic Drive

[Rick Williams]

I was working the ARRL contest today and noticed something odd!  When
I went to 10 metres and operated barefoot the mic drive required was
almost full clockwise (approx. 5 o'clock)!  (I usually operate with
the drive at about 9 o'clock position).  This was the only place I
could get significant ALC indication and significant SSB output (80 to
90 watts).

When I turned on the Hercules II and transmitted I needed to back the
drive WAY back to about 10 o'clock.

I tried the same operation on 12 metres and it behaved in the same
manner. Fifteen meters and lower frequencies are normal??

What's happening??
