[TenTec] Omni VI Opt. 3 Stopped Transmitting

[Tommy]

Also see if it will transmit when you push the TUNE button. If it 
does, do the obvious and check your keying line. If it does not, see 
if you are drawing any current when you push the tune button. If it 
draws no current, it may be bad news, like final transistors. Good 
luck !
