[TenTec] Omni VI + KC digit

[Jerry, N9AW]

I had similar issues with an OMNI VI and did exactly what Bob is referring 
to below.  As part of the cable reseating process though I also cleaned by 
pins by using De-Ox and a cue tip, let it dry and replug them in.   The 
issue went away.

Good luck and 73
Jerry, N9AW
