Gary, I dug into the 6+ today and it has a missing clocking pulse.  I called TT 
and was told some of the ic's are no longer available!  I only us 160-30m and 
the only bands that are low power are 20 and 17m.  So do I sell as is or just 
keep it?  Time will tell.

Wayne

My Omni VI+ which I sold last summer apparently had this symptom on one band 
and was sent to TT by the new owner for repair of the band pass board.

My OMNI 6+ has a power issue on 20m and 17m, it drops to 50w output on 20m 
and
15w on 17m. All other bands are okay.  I've checked the output of the L.O. 
Mixer
board, port 26, across a 50 ohm load. 160m through 40m, the the output is 
800
mvpp and and drops to 100mv on 20m and up. I don't think it is the output
filters of the PA  because 20m and 17m don't share the same filter. The L.O.
Mixer is nested below another board so I can not make any measurements on 
that
board other than ohm meter readings.  Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Wayne/w8aju
