[TenTec] Omni D problem

[Dave]

Meter reads SWR only on transmit -   the drive and alc interact - 
set ALC, then on CW, set drive for LED to light up,
  on SSB to light up, but flash with speech, not stay on all time


   -  On a number of the OMNi A,B, and my C, there are times that the 
diodes in the ALC circuitry fail and you cant really regulate power 
out - 
check manual for the two diodes back to back for ALC circuitry - might 
need to replace both.
