I recently got a Model 546, Omni C, Series B, Digital.
I sold a rig and the Omni was taken in as trade.
Well long story shortened, the Omni was a cosmetic wreck.
Missing screws for the case, etc.
But it had power out on all bands, but the VFO was locked up tight.
Since I had always wanted a TenTec to play with,
(I don't count my PM3 from a swap fest in 76)
Just for fun, I decided to do a little work on good old # 546-0482.
So far I have rebuilt the PTO with the kit from TenTec.
But I found the dial calibration is off by a few kc (2-3)
Even if I try to use the offset maxed to one extreme,
it's not on frequency.
I have only the Omni C Operators Manual pdf to go by,
even though I might could figure out what to adjust,
I'm not sure which circuit I should be adjusting first?
Is this a PTO problem or is it somewhere on the other osc boards?
I'm not a really good radio technician,
but I am sure I can have plod along, have fun, and get this done.
what is the sequence to use for alignment?
Any helpful pointers will be gratefully accepted.
