[TenTec] OMNI IV+ problem

[JEFF S JOHNSON]

Does the rig trip off or the power supply?  I've had a problem like this
with the power supply tripping off and it turned to be a broken shield in
one of the coax jumpers. Mine was on 20 meters at about 200 watts from
the amp the RF would trip it off.  Check them all by screwing back the
shell of the PL-259 and twist the coax, look for any movement of the
shield in there. Some times just unpluging one and reconnecting it will
expose a weak joint in these.

Good luck,    73  Jeff  aa8ve
