"What I did to my Omni 6 is pull the speaker and install a small muffin fan 
in its place, as well as a second fan on the rf brick heat sink. A 50 ohm 
resistor in each fans B+ lead keeps the fan noise tolerable.
You may want to try this...."


Did you install the fans because you experienced the same problem I did 
(reduced IF gain), or for some other reason?

This is the first I've heard of anyone installing cooling fans in the Omni 6.  
Note that my problem occurs whether or not I do any transmitting.  Seems more 
like a part failure to me. rather than a cooling problem.
