I have a problem that has just developed with my Omni VI, option 1, with the
S-meter. All has been working well until a few nights ago. I switched the
rig on and noticed the S-meter was nearly pegged out in the receive mode,
with the meter switch in the "fwd" position. Tried reducing RF gain, engaging
attenuator, changing filter settings, all of which made no difference. Cycled
the rig to transmit and back to recieve several times, and the needle stayed
near the top end of the scale the whole time. If I move the meter switch to
"swr" or other positions it reads incoming signal strength normally and
functions as it should. This is on all bands on any antenna or dummy load.
Removed
the top cover, inspected wiring around the meter switch and cleaned switch
with Deoxit. Still have the problem. Has anyone else seen this occur,
looking
for ideas as to a cause. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Mike K4KJC.
