[TenTec] Omni-D with an Annoying 1khz Tone

[forum4ll at verizon.net]

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for the link to the Corsair. Looks like the whining issue is 
resolved by just removing the 560pf cap between pin 16 and Vccon the IC4, the MK50398N. This cap was to enable the scan oscillator.I can't seem to find any explanation as to why this is needed butit must serve some function only an electrical engineer would know.

I now have a different problem and that is the first two digits of thefrequency display is incorrect for 10, 14, 21, 28, and 29mhz. I willstart a new thread on that and describe the problem in more detail.
