[TenTec] Omni VI minor woes

I saw the other thread about the Eagle woes during the IARU contest this 
weekend.  My Omni VI ran during a lot of it as well.  It started 
throwing a bit of a fit near the end.  We were both tired I guess :)  At 
times when it switched from transmit back to receive, receive would be 
several S units lower than previously.  It would take a few cycles of 
transmit to receive in order to get the receive back to "normal"  It 
seem to do it more on 20 and 15 meters.  I didn't really notice it when 
I switched to 40 meters or the very few I worked on 80 meters.  Wonder 
if some of the relays on the low pass board are acting flaky?   If so, 
does anyone know if the relays in the Omni VI are the same as the ones 
in the Jupiter?  I have a bunch of the ones for the Jupiter.  Would be 
great if they are the same.
