[TenTec] Ten Tec Omni VI needs service

[Malcolm McLeman]

Am glad Steve's contact details have appeared on this thread..

The audio line on the O6 is complex and can end up with the dreaded 
"motor-boating" @ switch=on and finalqudio failure !

Steve has done this repair and is a first class Radiosmith..
