Use a WOODEN STICK ( we call them SPUDGERS ) to poke at each and every
connector you can reach while listening to 40 M and hopefully it will
identify it's self by FAILING ! Most of those small connectors are NOT
SOLDERED but push in wire crimps ! A small screw driver can be used to push
on the wire and seat it a bit deeper into the plug and hopefully clearing up
the problem.
Good luck .............

Subject: [TenTec] fix OMNI V
Hi OM
I Have a little problem to resolve on my TT OMNI V.
I try to explain the problem.
Some time (once every 10 or more days) when i switch from every frequency
to
40 meter band the RX becomes mute or seems without antenna.
This happens only on 40 meter band. If i try to go on 80 or 30 or on
every
all band all is ok but in 40 meter the rx is mute, and the TX doesn't
transmit.
The relay works but any power come out from the TX and the RX is mute.
If i try to go on the other band keep all right.
First time this happens i have open the cabinet, and without do anything,
the rx come alive.
Surely all is caused by some bad solder, because is necessary try to open
the cabinet to resolve the problem, but isn't the final solution!
Do you have heard some similar problem?
Many thanks in any case
Best 73
