[TenTec] Omni-D Frequency Display Problem

[davkozy at comcast.net]

Just an FYI....  I had the same problem a few years ago. I brought it Ten-Tec on a trip to their hamfest and again a month later when it did the same thing after the first repair. 



       I still intermittently have the same problem. However, I've found that if I leave the radio on for 20 - 30 minutes, the display goes back to normal. I've been living with this problem for quite a while. If you do find a permanent fix,  please let me know. I really love this radio as it was my first HF radio. I liked Ten-Tec so much, I also own a Pegasus, Cosair II, Omni 7 and a bunch of other accesories.

Good chance it's simply a bad/oxidized connection - try reseating all the 
connections and grounds on the display/logic/timebase boards.  The 
frequency display works electronically with no mechanical dependencies.
