I am fairly certain that the OMNI-C series shipped with a Molex plug jumpered on the accessory socket to enable the internal VFO. I had the C Digital model with External VFO. The radio will NOT work without the jumper on the accessory socket and the VFO IN/OUT jumper OR the External VFO plugged into the accessory socket and the VFO IN/OUT jacks.

The External VFO when installed switches BOTH PTOs including RCV A/B, TX A/B, and RCV A & B (dual receive).

I wouldn't expect the Accessory connector to need a jumper.

From the look of the schematics, the remote VFO system - unlike the
Corsair - leaves both PTOs running continuously; they simply switch the
PTO RF output.

There is a jumper in the VFO out and in. That has to be in place when not
using the VFO.

The Corsair II has a jumper in the Accessory jack when not using the VFO.
Also the jumper for VFO out and in has to be in place when not using the
VFO.
