[TenTec] Omni D quits after 60-90 minutes

Hi Tim,

<div>If the work you did 3 months ago truly made it work consistently, I would try it again. 
I'm guessing you do have a reseat problem or flaky connection somewhere.

Funny story: I had a VERY intermittent problem on my Omni C that I could never fix. Then one day I had the rig apart for another reason. I found a connection that was never soldered at the factory. I soldered it and that intermittent never came back.

You may have to remove circuit boards and look at the connections underneath them.

Good Hunting,
Joe, K8MP

Hi all,

I'm curious if any of you have had this same problem. When my Omni D was new (to me - bought it used) it would die after about 1 hour. 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.
