[TenTec] Omni VI TX/RX Frequency discrepency

[n4lq]

Sure. Just open the manual to the section about the TX/BFO board. There 
it gives details on how to properly align those oscillators. You can use 
a freq. counter or if you have a general coverage of know accuracy, you 
can listen to the oscillators with a short pickup lead to it's antenna 
and get them right on frequency. The board is located on top the 
chassis, rear LH side with the rig facing you. There are several 
trimmers. Don't take my word for it but the one that usually gets out of 
alignment is the brown one. It's the trimmer that you adjust while 
in "tune" or cw/keydown position.
