Weird - I owned my VI+ for seven years, and it never did this once. So,
here's the existence theorem for others that don't have the problem!

I was thinking of doing exactly what Jerry/K0CQ suggested years ago.
That 'sudden pbt shift on warmup' has been a 'feature' of my Omni VI since
I bought it new from Ten-Tec years ago.
It appears on the 'To Do' list of fixes I include with the radio whenever it
goes in for service.
After four or five trips out to TT and back for that radio, TT has yet to
fix it.
I've given up and just live with it.
