[TenTec] Omni VI 5 MHz PLL

[MadScientist]

If you are off frequency consistently by 100 Hz on all bands, your problem is not likely on the PLL board. A failure on the crystal PLL board would only cause loss-of-lock, and the frequency error would vary widely from band to band.

This PLL cannot be “off” by 100 Hz. In fact, the only way for the PLL to be off is for the master oscillator to be off (or for the PLL to be in a lack-of-lock condition).

Even the 5.0 to 5.5 MHz “VFO” can only be off from the display reading if the master oscillator were to be off.

If you are absolutely certain that your MO is calibrated to 20 MHz and the frequency is still off by 100 Hz, then all that is left is the BFO.

In that case, is the radio off 100 Hz on both USB and LSB?
