[TenTec] Omni VI plus quirk?

[Clark Savage Turner]

Just another data point, I never keep my power supply on, I've had 3 
OMNI VI's and never seen this problem.

The advice from Tommy is good, check ALL connectors on all boards to 
make sure you're getting continuity where you need it.  I'd also check 
the memory battery just to be sure it is not low (cheap and easy to 
replace anyway!)  Then give Ten Tec a call, they may be able to tell 
you a simple fix, they're helpful.
