Subject: OVEN verses TCXO


> As info. My 1998 Omni VI+ was upgraded from the OVEN to the TCXO and it is
a
> considerable difference. Example, tuning to a SSB net frequency
(14.247.00)
> as the radio would warm up over nearly an hour I would move the tuning
knob
> from about 14.246.80 to 14.247.00 in small steps as the voice tone
changed.
> Now with the TCXO installed when turning on at 14.247.00 the voice tones
> sound pretty normal and the tuning knob is never moved.
>
> If I remember correctly the kit is $45 for you to install or $100 for them
> to install.
