[TenTec] Omni-VI plus question

[John Huffman]

Dennis -

I bought a used Omni VI+ (option 3) off this list.  The question I 
should have asked was, "Has the crystal oven been replaced?"  It was bad 
and the guy wouldn't take the rig back.  The radio ended up taking a 
trip to Ten Tec to figure out what was wrong and replace the oven with a 
TCXO.  Crystal ovens are no longer available.  Later Omni VI+ came with 
the TCXO standard.

As long as you get a good enough price to cover a trip back to Ten Tec 
(I didn't) you'll be fine.  The repair and checkout cost under $200. 
Ten Tec repair prices are very reasonable.
