[TenTec] Omni VI Mystery

[K8JHR]

Hi Jim...

I once had a problem with a 2m rig once.  I enlisted the assistance of a 
local Elmer who had me open it on his work bench, while he looked over 
my shoulder and walked me through the process of diagnosis and repair. 
I used his scope and test equipment under his supervision.

Maybe you could arrange a similar outing and perform the procedures 
suggested by the Guru under similar circumstances.  I learned a lot, and 
got my rig fixed, with minimal risk I would make it worse on my own.

Maybe you could do that.
