[TenTec] fix OMNI V

[Tony Berg]

Hi Paolo,

I have had 2 Omni Vs, but I have not had your problem. I think there may be a part or solder joint in the crystal Y3 circuitry on the Xtal Osc-LO Mixer board that is bad sometimes. Or maybe sometimes there is no 40-meter control signal at this board's connector 82. Maybe to find out what is bad, you can push a little bit on each of these parts and on both ends of cable 82 to see if you can make the problem come and go.

73, Tony
