[TenTec] Omni VI+

[Mike Bryce]

I’d check the output filters. The relays have a tendency to go kaput. If you can monitor DC input current, that would be helpful. If you’re drawing 15 amps and getting 10 out, then output filters would be a good place to start.

You didn’t mention if it was on one band or all bands.

Try using the separate antenna input to see if your receiver comes back. That jack bypass the filter board and swr/alc board.
