[TenTec] Omni VI Issue

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Dennis,

In addition to the excellent suggestions you've already received here, I'll make another.
I believe the Option 1 also had the crystal oven.  I once had a problem where directly after shipping, my Option 3 was also unstable.
As I recall, it was unstable in all modes, but more noticeable in CW mode.
I found out that the plastic lid to that crystal oven had loosened during shipping and fallen off.

I glued the lid back on with a couple of drops of model glue and crossed my fingers.
No more problem.

We appreciate your request for off-line answers, but I believe this topic is exactly what the reflector is for and we all learn together when it is used in this way.

Good luck.

Good evening, 



I have an Omni VI Option 1.  I had the radio checked and aligned 

just a little over a year ago.  When I got it home, I made a hand full 

of contacts and put it in its box.  I got it out this weekend, and is 

an issue with CW receive.  The CW audio sounds like it is 

warbling, like the cw note is unstable.  I left it on all weekend, but 

there has been no change.  Just wondering, short of another trip to 

the mothership, if anyone has a suggestion for where to look and 

what to look for.  I have no instruments for troubleshooting, but I 

could possible check some simple items. 



If anyone can offer advice, please respond direct, and off line.  I do 

not want to tie up the reflector. 



Thanks in advance for any help. 



73,, 
Dennis
