Here are the symptoms mine had. Once it warmed up there was a frequency
jump on CW send and receive. It jumped for a split second and then
jumped back. It was like a short chirp on both transmit and receive.
It was worst on 40m where it happened every 2 seconds. It took 10
seconds on 80 and 20.
Sent it to Ten Tec abd they put in the TCXO in place of the oven.

What are the symptoms of a bad oven. I have an Omni VI with option 1 and a
VI+. I am going to sell one of them. Yhe VI+ had low power when I bought
it and went back last year to ten-tec to have one or more pin diodes
replaced. They did a operational check when the repair was completed so its
oven should be ok. The VI has no frequency drift that I can detect.
