[TenTec] Omni VI+ memory LED question

[Tommy]

Congrats on the 'new' Omni 6+, I'll bet your gonna like it!!

Before going too far, remove the top cover and reseat the connectors on the
back of the readout board. Sometimes they get 'dirty', sometimes they come
loose during shipment, etc. Good thing to take both covers off and just
inspect the connectors for seating and the IC's to be sure they are secure
in the sockets. Strange things can happen in those brown trucks!

If that doesn't help, give TT a call...their service is excellent!

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI+ memory LED question


> Hi folks -
> I recently became the proud owner of an Omni VI+. It is operating
beautifully, but tonight I ran into an odd occurrence. I decided to see if I
could load the memories with TRX from my laptop - which as it turns out
works fine. Here's the odd thing though. Unless I am losing my mind (what's
left of it) the LED's that show the time as well as the memory channels were
working just fine before I down loaded. Now some of those LED lights are not
working. Either I have a few burned out LED lights or somehow TRX sent a
message to the Omni that impacts that display. I did a complete reset but
that had no impact on the LEDs. I doubt that TRX is the problem, but thought
I'd check and see if anyone had an odd issue like that. Assuming the lights
are burned out, does anyone know a part number for replacement bulbs and is
it just a pop the front panel operation? Thanks in advance for any input.
