[TenTec] Omni-D (Ser B) - Popping on some 10m bands

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Is the PTO jumper in place on the back panel? Does it tune on a band 
that is sure to have signals? If it tunes that jumper is in place, but 
the counter isn't seeing signal. There are two jumpers needed, one for 
RF and the other in the 9 pin molex connector for internal PTO power.

Reseating connectors works best with a tiny bit of DeoxIT on each pin, 
just removing and reinstalling doesn't always break through oxidized 
connector parts. And the insulation displacement ends of the connectors 
can be more of a problem than the PC board side of the connector.
