[TenTec] Omni VI troubleshooting ( TX trips PS breaker )

[K5XS at aol.com]

Mike,
I'm guessing failed switching diodes.  I had the same problem with  mine.  
(If I hadn't given away the manual I could tell you the board, but  after I 
traded it in on an O-II I gave away the manual.)
A trip to Ten Tec may be the best choice.

Hi  all,

My Omni VI has developed a problem.  Does anyone recognize  these symptoms?

1) RX seems fine
2) any TX immediately trips off the  power supply ( model 961 )
3) power cycling the PS restores  everything
4) occurs with minimum power out
5) the power supply is OK -  it drives another rig to 100W without tripping

Any thoughts or  suggestions before it gets sent back to TT?

Thanks!
--Mike,  WQ5C
