[TenTec] Omni 6 Logic Board Failure

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

Previous reports of Omni 6 logic board failures have stated a IC is no 
longer available. I have wondered if TenTec could retrofit using a PIC, 
programmed using the original firmware code parameters.

I upgraded to the OMNI-VII in 2010 to avoid the potential risk of the O-6 
logic board failure and retain a greater portion of my investment by selling 
a working Omni 6 plus.  I still have a great interest in the radio I ran for 
ten years with minimal service.

Did they narrow it down to an unobtainable chip, or just ...bad logic board?
Some obsolete chips are hard to find, but still ...eventually...can be
found!
