[TenTec] Omni V receive problems

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Two solutions. A can of freeze mist and a hair dryer, or a shipping box 
to Tennessee.

Its almost sure to be heat sensitive so heat and cool a board at a time 
until you find the one that has effect, then heat and cool smaller and 
smaller segments of that board until you get it down to the part. Could 
easily be a solder problem or a breaking connection inside a part.

You could also shotgun cleaning all the cable and card edge connections 
with Deoxit by Cramolin.

Then, as it warms up, it tunes to the correct freq as displayed, but the audio is very garbled and distorted. After about 40 min (warmed up) it often clears up and acts normal. It has also gone back to being garbled after an hour or so even once it had 'corrected itself'. It would seem its just not receive as during one qso I was told my audio had become distorted--and the receive had become distorted again as well.
