[TenTec] Omni VI+ drifting frequency

[Rick, NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

I have an Omni VI+ opt. 3 which was shipped to me via UPS.

The rattle inside the rig turned out to be the plastic cap of the TCO, which
apparently came lose in shipping.

I pushed it back on.

I did not glue it.

 

When using the rig, it drifts significantly, to the extent that I need to
adjust the VFO about once per minute.

It seems to be drifting, not jumping.

 

Any suggestions?

Do I need to glue the cover to the TCO on to the unit?

 

Thanks.
