About all I can tell you is that TenTec used at least two different encoder
manufactures and one was far superior to the other. The one I had was very
very smooth. BTW. That radio is now owned by W4DES and I think it's for
sale. Maybe you could buy it and sell yours if you want the ultimate Omni V.
