[TenTec] Omni VI Keyer

[K. Indart]

Hi,
    I have noticed that the internal keyer of my Omni VI Option 3 factory
installed, has a tendency to drift slightly up or down in speed.  This seems
to be an erratic thing; just enough to be noticeable.  I have noticed it
with different antennas.  Guess I should try it on a dummy load.  Any
suggestions, appreciated.

 I agree with Ken on the internal keyer.  There's nothing wrong with it.
It works and sounds just like all the other Iambic B keyers I own.  There
are certainly no timing problems/differences and no shortening of dits.  I
have only used CW for about the last 15 years up to about 45 wpm or so and
have used the VI for many years.

Admittedly, some of the internal keyers needed a cap or something added to
eliminate a slight speed variation.  I've never seen that in person.

I've used at least 4 different flavors of VIs, all with the same good
results.

73,
