[TenTec] Omni 6 Plus is turning off by itself

[M. P. Haynes]

Bob,

I had a similar experience on my Delta II years ago.  It would quit
completely and nothing would make it work  I would check the fuse and it
would be okay.  To make a long story short, it was an intermittent fuse! 
The fuse element was probably unsoldered from the end cap and would make
contacts sometimes and not others.  This was in a mobile installation and
I would remove it and bring it in to the work bench only to find it
worked fine!  Drove me crazy!
