Previous reports of Omni 6 logic board failures have stated a IC is no
longer available. I have wondered if TenTec could retrofit using a PIC,
programmed using the original firmware code parameters.
I upgraded to the OMNI-VII in 2010 to avoid the potential risk of the O-6
logic board failure and retain a greater portion of my investment by selling
a working Omni 6 plus. I still have a great interest in the radio I ran for
ten years with minimal service.

Did they narrow it down to an unobtainable chip, or just ...bad logic board?
Some obsolete chips are hard to find, but still ...eventually...can be
found!

Well, my Omni 6 is in for repair, and Ten Tec has diagnosed a logic
board failure. Due to the unavailable chips, this means a dead radio.
I know this isn't the first and wont be the last of these great rigs
to suffer this fate. Has anyone out there come up with a fix?? Please
reply off line of any solutions.
Let me respectfully ask why reply off line? I would think this topic
would be of general interest to many.
