[TenTec] OMNI VI+ Metering issue

[B. Lee Cornwell]

Hello Dennis - I had the same issue.  Check on a dummy load first as 
suggested. My problem was the PIN diodes (D2 and D3) on the low pass 
filter board and U-1 on the 9 Mhz board. Not too bad a job to 
change...my first attempt at surface mount IC's and I did OK !!
