[TenTec] Omni V Sick...any thoughts?

[Josh Hatton]

Hi All
New here... hope to meet fellow TT ops OTA soon.

Just got my 562 Omni V back from TT Service for relay replacement. Had it
on the air for about 4 hours... all was great...went to bed... came out the
next day, began to tune up on 75m, was tuning fine, then all of a sudden, I
had close to 200 Watts of power, high swr (where before all this started,
the swr was around 2:1), and oddly, the RF pot didn't change the RF output.
I cut it off and have not pursued it yet. Could this be an issue with the
new relays? Just thinking out loud... I understand there is an 'unspoken'
thing about the PA in the Omni V where if you use the 962 TT PSU, there is
over-current system that will shut it down before anything happens. I
unfortunately don't have that luxury, with an Astron RS35M. Could this have
been prevented with the 961 or 962 PSUs?

Any ideas on what happened?

Thanks es 73
