Hi Barry,

This might not be very helpful, but I have had the same problem (although not as pronounced) with my OMNI VI+ for a few years now.

It appears on both TX and RX, but it is band-dependent. It happens on 30M, but not on 40M or 20M.

Does your "warble" appear on all bands, or just some bands?

I am guessing that this is an intermittent connection (wiring harness, connector or solder joint).

I operate mostly on 40 and 20, so I haven't bothered to fix it. Maybe now is the time. :-)

73,

I'd appreciate some help troubleshooting a pronounced hitch or warble
in the received tone, happening regularly about every 1.5 seconds.  It
occurs in cw, lsb and usb.  Please have a listen - this is 10 sec CW
plus 5 sec USB tuned to a carrier:

Can anyone provide some helpful troubleshooting tips?

Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU
