One thing you might try is a cpu reset - button on the right side.  The 
CPU may be confused and not setting up the band select lines properly.

I say "beloved" because of all the radios I have owned and operated over my 66 years as a ham operator, the Ten Tec Omni VI is the best including Collins KWM 380, KWM 2 and others. I purchased a bandpass board removed from a working Ten Tec Omni VI and installed it in my Omni VI.

All push button switches work as well as transmit/receive. No RF output in transmit.  I need the services of a great OMNI VI technician. Please assist me to get my OMNI VI working. There are NO Ten TEC technicians here in Louisiana. I need to hear from you.
