[TenTec] Omni VI Frequency Adjustment

The Omni VI has a 20 MHz reference oscillator (which is divided down to 
10 MHz) to which the VFO and the band switching crystal oscillators are 
locked. The BFO crystal oscillator is not locked to anything. You can 
have the 20 MHz reference dead on frequency and still be off frequency 
if the BFO is not adjusted correctly.
