[TenTec] Omni D quits after 60-90 minutes

[Gary F]

To simulate the heating condition, take the case off and throw a thick towel over the radio. When it acts up, remove the towel and troubleshoot.

A can of freeze mist goes a long way here in terms of many minimizing your search time, as does a hair dryer.

Don't use a heat gun, too hot.

By "die", I mean it would go pretty deaf and the transmit output would go nearly to zero. I fixed it by opening it up, reseating every circuit board, and tightening up all of the ground lugs I could find. That was about 3 months ago. It has now started to do it again. I'm interested to know if anyone solved it once and for all.  Meanwhile, I can go do the reseating shuffle again. It's a bit of a pain to troubleshoot, because it's difficult to get it to occur with the covers off the rig - apparently heat sensitive.
