[TenTec] OMNI VI plus

[David Propper]

Bob,

Another suggestion, use liquid De-Oxit as your contact cleaner. It has a needle dropper dispenser. As someone else mentioned, avoid spraying contact cleaner if possible, however, the same cleaner is available in a spray can.  I believe that someone else also mentioned that you should check the connections for each of the sub-miniature coaxial cables that interconnect between various boards.  Apply the liquid De-Oxit cleaner to the sub-miniature connectors, both the outer shell (ground) and the center pin of the connector.

Best of luck ! Hope you find the problem.

73 and take care,
Dave, K2DP (St. Louis, MO)
