[TenTec] Omni VI + Tuning

[Ariel M. Elam]

Hello Paul and the list --

I had the very same problem some years ago with my VI+. It was a bad 
incoder. To check this, on the circuit board behind the tuning knob 
interchange the two wires going to the RIT incoder with the two wires 
going to the MAIN incoder. I think the numbers were 55 & 56 on one 
incoder. My memory fails me. Check the drawings or call TT. If the VI+ 
now tunes correctly with the RIT incoder, then the MAIN incoder is 
provevn bad. Call TT for a replacement.

Good luck!

73,

Ariel, k4aal
