Ken,  Try plugging a voltmeter into the 12v accessory RCA jack on the rear of the Omni.  Also fix a place to measure the voltage between the ps and Omni power jack.  When you key down the rig, check for voltage drop difference between the two points.  Should be no greater than half a volt.  If it is, you are loosing energy at the molex connector, fuse holder/fuse, and possibly the power switch contacts.   Prime  suspect is the molex connector where there is minimal metal  on the pins and socket, especially for running continuous power in digital modes.   LMK what you discover.
