Mike,
The output of the Omni's PTO is routed to an RCA Phono Jack on the rear
panel marked VFO OUT.
There is another Jack marked VFO IN fright beside it.
If you do not have an external VFO, then you must either jumper these two
jacks together with a short coax cable with Phono plugs on each end, or
simply solder a jumper across the two jacks inside the radio.

Subject: [TenTec] OMNI C Mixer or PTO problem
I am trying to understand a problem with my newly purchased OMNI C. It was
operating fine according to the person who sold it to me (and I believe
him!). Upon arrival it seems that the PTO has no output or there is a
problem mixing the PTO signal. The reason I say this is because I am
observing displays of 9MHz, 1 MHz or 91MHz depending on the band. There is
no transmitter drive current. According to the manual the display output is
a sign that mixing with the PTO is not occurring. I assume this also
correlates with no transmitter current. I think (hope) the problem is
something simple that was caused by the rough and tumble of shipping. I did
try things like testing the VFO out-in jumper, jiggling cables, leaving the
unit on overnight, etc. I do have the option of shipping the unit back but I
would rather fix it if it is a simple fix.
Another question. Will the Corsair 263 VFO work on the OMNI C?
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this problem.
Regards
Mike K1PEV
