[today’s run: rest day]
I bought this TenTec Omni D last summer off of E-Bay. This model of radio has a good reputation and I have been enjoying it very much.
It has a problem which is annoying and may be getting worse. The frequency display will show small jumps of frequency, 1-2 kHz, up and down, when I am not even touching the dial. And it appears that it effects both the receiving and transmitting frequencies.
This morning I popped off the top and bottom covers and reseated all of the circuit boards. I was hoping that it might be a dirty connection of some type. But it was still doing it this afternoon.
Now I think it is probably something wrong with the VFO itself.
TenTec will still work on these older radios and I could send it in to them. First, I think I will do some more web research and maybe call their service department.
I have my turn coming up to be the “fox” on some of the QRP Foxhunt operations. I may have to revert to the Century 21 to do that task. We shall see.
