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. :-)

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,
