Hi all
Had a problem with my Omni V during the 160 meter contest this weekend. Over
a period of time while listening the receiver would progressively go partly
deaf. Transmitting or hitting "TUNE" would restore the sensitivity. Over
time it would go deaf again. Sometimes, I'd call a station that was 569 and
it would drop to 539 after my call. I would hit my key while the other
station was transmitting to restore hearing (not the best way to contest!).
I looked at the schematic thinking it was a T/R relay only to find that it
really doesn't use one as such. I just now tried it on 20 and 10 and it does
the same thing.
Anybody ever experience this? I could always send it to TT but I would like
to fix it before the 10 meter contest this weekend.
Suggestions welcome.
