[TenTec] Fw: Power down on Omni VI plus

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

John,

Check the dc power plug and jack.

The pins of the jack may have weathered a bit and be too large.
This could cause a less than perfect connection, leading to a voltage drop when transmitting.

Just a wild guess, but who knows, maybe that's the problem.

 My Omni VI plus works great and sounds great except that I have noticed that the power output has dropped to approximately 65 watts on 75 meters. I have not checked the power on any other HF bands. Signal quality reports are excellent. The final transistors seem to handle the 65 watts with no show of abnormality except of reduced output.
Has anyone else experienced power output drop from an Omni VI plus ? What about RF drive problems?  I love my Omni VI plus and ave used it for more than 20 years. Assistance based on your actual knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
