[TenTec] Fw: Omni C transmit off frequency

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

My manual shows the control of which I speak on page 3-56 on the 80708 
Control Board.  It is R-16.  The manual says, "Trimpot R16 is adjusted to a 
value equal to the center position voltage of the OFFSET control, in essence 
the voltage representing NO offset."
