I had similar issues with an OMNI VI and did exactly what Bob is referring
to below. As part of the cable reseating process though I also cleaned by
pins by using De-Ox and a cue tip, let it dry and replug them in. The
issue went away.
Good luck and 73

Remove the covers. Loosen the top screws to the upper left and right
sides to allow the front panel to tilt forward. Un plug all the ribbon
cables, one at a time, and re plug them. I recall that the display board
and display processor are mated with a sandwich connector. Work these
apart and re-assemble. Put it all back together and likely the problem
will be solved.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI + KC digit
I have a wonderful Omni VI+ transceiver, which I have used for many years,
that functions beautifully EXCEPT for one digit in the digital readout
that doesn't read. That is the kilocycle digit that doesn't read and shows
nothing in the kilocycle range.
In other words, 3.925.00 reads 3.92-.00. The readout does not display the
kilocycles for us OLD geizers or kilohertz for the baby boomers and newer
Ten Tec fans.
Has anyone experienced intermittent digit readout such as that described
above? If so, what did you find wrong and how did you cure the problem?
Your input will be appreciated based upon your Ten Tec knowledge and
experience.And YES it is plugged in. 73, John, K5PGW
