John,
Thank you for the suggestion. I just recently spoke with John at Ten Tec
regarding problems with the main encoder for my Omni VI+. So I ordered
one and still have to get it installed before CQWW 160. My Omni VI+ is a
late serial number radio, but I seem to be going through kind of a bad
spell with it. My Omni V lasted me 13 years without a hitch before I
traded up to the VI+. One of the reasons I went for the VI+ was the
front panel axillary switch!
Best Regards, Thomas
