[TenTec] Omni VI mystery

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Without any doubt, the radio needs to go to Tentec to be repaired. 
Whatever is at fault, to effect a proper repair, will require a high level 
of knowledge regarding the Omni VI and the necessary test equipment to 
complete the repair and do a proper alignment.

No the Omni VI does not require any RIT or XIT values for normal operation.

As to replacing it, do yourself a favor and keep one fine CW radio.  I've 
personally owned two of the Omni VI Plus radios and now own the Omni VII.
