[TenTec] Orion trim pot adjustment

[bob barnes]

not many people were aware that you could bring an omni 5 right on qrq using a pot on a circuit board in the rig.
 
this was the main gripe on a very excellant rig when it was new.  many hams got rid of their omni 5s because of this.
 
i found it and could never get the tentec service guys to point this out!  it was strange i think i even talked to the jack burchfield one time regarding this problem. 
 
the problem was you could punch in a freq on phone and it would be off freq enough that everyone jumped on the bandwagon bad mouthing tentec.  you would have to manualy tune the rig to get it on freq.
 
i never did understand tentec not correcting this problem as they cured the problem on the omni 6.

Make sure the radio is warm and at normal operating temperature when you 
do this because this will vary a little with temperature.  I was able to 
get my Orion within a few hertz of actual frequency by doing this.
