[today’s run: rest day]<\/p>\n
I bought this TenTec Omni D last summer off of E-Bay.\u00a0 This model of radio has a good reputation and I have been enjoying it very much.<\/p>\n
It has a problem which is annoying and may be getting worse.\u00a0 The frequency display will show small jumps of frequency, 1-2 kHz, up and down, when I am not even touching the dial.\u00a0 And it appears that it effects both the receiving and transmitting frequencies.<\/p>\n
This morning I popped off the top and bottom covers and reseated all of the circuit boards.\u00a0 I was hoping that it might be a dirty connection of some type.\u00a0 But it was still doing it this afternoon.<\/p>\n
Now I think it is probably something wrong with the VFO itself.<\/p>\n
TenTec will still work on these older radios and I could send it in to them.\u00a0 First, I think I will do some more web research and maybe call their service department.<\/p>\n
I have my turn coming up to be\u00a0 the “fox” on some of the QRP Foxhunt operations.\u00a0 I may have to revert to the Century 21 to do that task.\u00a0 We shall see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
