[TenTec] Omni VI XTAL OSC problem

[Steve Hunt]

Hi folks,

I have an Omni VI which just developed a severe "warble" on Tx and Rx, 
but only on 160m. I assumed the problem must be with the 160m crystal 
(or associated components) on the Xtal Osc - LO Mixer board.

Thinking the crystal may have aged towards the limit of the loop control 
range, I just adjusted L12 - the inductor associated with the 160m 
crystal - and it now seems OK. I adjusted L12 to put the loop control 
voltage close to the value seen on all the other bands; it had been much 
higher.

Does anyone know if this is the right procedure? And does anyone know 
what the loop control voltage should be adjusted to?

Grateful for any help.
