[TenTec] Omni VI mystery

If that just came back from the factory I would ship it back up to them...sounds like a simple alignment issue but it should have been caught in final checkout before being shipped.

 

Without some test gear it will be hard to get it right.

I ran an on-air test with Jim and found that when using my Omni VI+, 
transmitting on 14.052.50, Jim was receiving me at 14.053.11 on his Omni 
6.  When he transmits, I receive him just fine if I engage the RIT and 
listen up 500 Hz, which just about coincides with what his rig is 
telling him his transmit frequency is.  So, it seems that when he hears 
a CQ and answers it, he is actually about 500 Hz higher in frequency 
than the guy he is hearing.
I hope this helps diagnose his problem.  I'm not savvy enough to know 
the fix, other than temporarily engage the RIT or XIT and preset that 
500 Hz difference.
