[TenTec] OMNI-5 Problem

[Barry N1EU]

Could be rf getting in Lee.  Suggest you remove all cables connected to the 
Omni V that aren't essential and then try 160M xmsn with a dummy load and 
also into the dipole with reduced power out and see if it still hangs in 
transmit.

Your shack just might be very live with rf on 160m, especially if transmit 
antenna is nearby.

If reducing power or the dummy load cures the hanging, you can try adding 
some ferrite to the Omni V cables, but it might be hard to exorcise the rf 
demons if you're on the second floor and the dipole is nearby.

GL,
Barry  N1EU
