[TenTec] OMNI V

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

The RX antenna switch could and does cause intermittent receive problems but 
has nothing to do with transmit.  I speculate the issue is much deeper than 
that.  The description "output needs to be re-tuned at the ant. tuner" is 
indicative of PA or driver oscillation or instability.  Perhaps caused by a 
fault on the Low Pass filter board.

Could it possibly be a dirty receive antenna switch. Clean and exercise the 
switch on the rear of the rig. That's the switch above the main SO-239 
antenna jack and below the RCA receive antenna jack.

I have an OMNI V that had some Lightning Damage. Only minor repairs (by 
Ten-Tec) were required.
After a couple of months worth of operation...some new symptoms have arose. 
1. The receiver cuts in and out, anywhere from no reception, reduced 
reception to overload. 2. These symptoms are accompanied by transmitter 
problems, no-output or output needs to be re-tuned at the ant. tuner.This is 
not an antenna problem, I put another rig on-line and it worked fine.
Any thought of what the problem might be? Thanks, Tim
