	With regard to WA3JPG's comments regarding ovens in OMNI VI's: I thought: 
(1)  Ten-Tec began installing TCXO''s in later production runs of OMNI's, 
(2) the TCXO's  were in lieu of earlier reference crystals and gave better 
frequency stability, (3) it was the earlier reference crystals that needed 
an oven so (4) the later OMNI's did not have ovens (no need to keep the 
power supply on, etc.) It sounds as if all OMNI's may have ovens. I'm confused.
