Sounds like those need an alignment as well. Perhaps a previous owner has
"tweaked" the radio a bit. The Omni series radios have a very specific
alignment procedure that must be followed. It does require a signal
generator capable of known and accurate frequency and known output level as
well as a frequency counter of known accuracy.
Diddling with the radio with unknown test equipment accuracy will likely end
up with a radio performing as you indicate.

?the bpt seems to work as it should,varies the signal as it should ,except
the signal STARTS off as the poor audio signal. I did notice the BPF and
the fade controls do next to nothing for the audio the fade is ok ,but the
BFP does nothing.... I noticed the BFP does cut the audio width from 200
to 1700 while it is in use, per the manual.? possiable the curcuit is not
dropping out somehow? this seems to me the 200 to 1700? would have the no
bass, tinny sound I am hearing. Ive never had a rig with a BFP before
,maybe my understanding of its use is not corect?

Before you leap into tweaking the BFO, see what the bandpass tuning and
alternate filter selections do for the audio quality you wish.
