[TenTec] Omni VI/3 problem

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

Chris,

Couple  of ideas:  Internal battery may be low; also check the power supply: 
  check the connection on the rear panel as sometimes it will become loose, 
check the p.s. voltage level for 13.8 too.  If the rig gets low voltage it 
can start doing crazy things.  Mine suddenly started behaving in a bizarre 
way about 6 months ago (I can't remember what it was doing but it seemed 
like a microprocessor problem) and some of the guys on here told me to check 
the rear panel molex socket and plug for the p.s.  I did, and it was loose 
and after I jammed it in the problem went away.

The prob. could be a combination of things -- unlike the nice classroom 
problems in trade school, in the real world there are often two or three 
minor things going on that add up.  The connection could be just bad enough 
to add to the voltage drop on your p.s. cable to cause a problem.  If ur 
p.s. cable is more than 3 feet long and it is possible to make it shorter 
consider doing that.
