[TenTec] Omni VI mystery

[Brian Carling]

With most transceivers, if you make sure that the signal you are receiving is Tuned exactly to your side tone pitch then you will be on the same frequency as them.  This is the case with my Omni 6+. It is also the case with my Yaesu FT 857d.

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.
