[TenTec] OMNI VI product detector IMD

[Steve N4LQ]

Clark:
I have the manuals for both the VI and VI+ and have compared the IF/AF board 
component values fwiw.
The only one that stands out it C6. From the VI to VI+, C6 goes from 1,000pf 
to 2200pf.

R31 from 33k to 100k, R44 eliminated, R45 eliminated.
