Re: [TenTec] HInts for troubleshooting an OMNI D

[Dave Lawley <dave@g4buo.com>]

Hi

I've come across this old posting from 2005, and my Omni D has the same 
trouble on 80m only. Before I go ahead and order a new crystal, can 
anyone confirm that this is indeed the cause of the problem?
Many thanks, Dave G4BUO
