[TenTec] OMNI V

[Rick W]

Yes - I totally missed that he had TX issues as well.  Sadly, you may be correct Bob and the trouble may be much deeper.

>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.

>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.
