[TenTec] Omni VII Strange Behavior

[John Peters]

Hi MIKE
      I have had a trouble with the digital display on my OMNI D.      
the display is unstable for a fer minutes
and then it is o kay---   for a short while    then goes showing all  
numbers (unstable) again.  then
a few minutes it goes okay    with a little tapping at times....     
Then runs o kay the rest of the day....
      do you have anything for a fix?????
          hope so    ??
               thanks     John    K2kot        c ya
