[TenTec] Omni V - sidetone/headphone problem?

[W1EOF]

Jim,

I'm not sure how applicable it is to your radio, but FWIW my old OMNI-D is
the same way.

If you adjust the headphone volume for usable level in a set of headphones,
you can't hear it at all through the speaker. I've been wanting to do a mod
that corrected this, or if not correct it then just bring the volume control
out so that it can be adjusted.

73,
