[TenTec] Omni VI Mystery

[Mike Bryce]

Gang,

I’ve been sitting on the side on this one. Like bob said, you need a good counter, not a hamfest special. 

But all this talk about counters and calibration down to a single Hz, I doubt that the service bench guys at the factory would miss a calibration point.

So, I’m going to throw this in the hat. Might be 100% wrong, God knows I’ve been before (I married my first wife) but I’m wondering if perhaps, just perhaps the filter (Transmit) has a ‘bump’ in it? Knocking the required signal out a hair, throwing the whole shebang under the bus. I’m guessing. A wild stab, whispers in the dark. 


I’ haven’t studied the schematic on the omni VI and I’m not sure where the filter comes in the circuit, but what the hey. However since you have another Omni, how about swapping out the stock filter?
