[TenTec] Omni VI+ firmware rev.

[Bob Henderson]

Hi jason

I can't disagree with you.  I suppose I would have been more correct in
saying, QSK operation resulted in audible clicks in the headphones with P52
connected.  Like you, I just moved the connector over to keep things tidy
whilst severing the offending connection.  I haven't used my Omni VI+ for
years but maybe I'll give it an airing one of these days.

Bob, 5B4AGN
