[TenTec] OMNI V -- RF Leakage

[Ken Kinyon - W7TS]

Hi Bill,
What kind of leads do you have going into the rear connectors?   I had to
put solenoid rf chokes in the computer control wires and leads to the rtty
jacks, before my RF problems went away.  Even the external speaker jack can
be a problem.  The speaker in my 961 PS is OK, but if I plug in the speaker
that is in my Herc II amp, the transceiver goes bananas.
73,
Ken W7TS
P.S mine is a O-VI, but I'm sure they behave the same is this regard as did
my paragon before.

- 10-yr old OMNI V.

Severe RF leakage.  Shuts down xmt. above 40 watts or so, and you can hear
it on cw signal, according to one listener report.

- SWR < 1.5:1 on couple diff ant's
- Changed external coax cables.
- Opened rig - RF enclosure was loosely secured to chassis (two missing
screws), but no change after replacing screws and tightening heat sink (no
surprise).

Any ideas?? Back to Ten-tec??
