[TenTec] OMNI SIX problems

[Fraser Robertson]

Our club has an Omni6+, a fairly old model with option 3.  I've nulled the 
carrier on it several times but it soon drifts out of null again.  The 
suppression on LSB I think I recall correctly is particularly poor, due to 
the filter being assymetrical.  Overall the rig is pretty poor on SSB.  Is 
there a cure, at least for the carrier null drift?
