Does the Omni VI+ have an antenna switch that allows the rx to use a 
different antenna than the tx?  I'm thinking of a little slide switch on 
the rear of the unit.  Those things cause problems every now and then 
but a quick shot of DeOxit usually gets everything humming again....it's 
a thought, anyway.  Happy Thanksgiving, by the by.
