- The meter lamps on my Omni VI dim noticeably when either the VOX or SPLIT LEDS are lighted. It is doubtful that this is due to a power supply lead voltage dropping from the increased load of the LEDs

- Thanks Larry and Jim, Well, I'm not overly concerned about it. It doesn't have any affect on the RF/AF performance of the radio, which is what really matters to me. I just happened to notice it and t

- Both of my 564's do it, the lamp remains plenty bright. It has to do with the method Ten Tec uses to dim/brighten the lamp. Check the list archives. A loose or oxidized DC power connector can also ca
