[TenTec] Omni VI plus with low RF output

[Mark Kenward]

John, the omni series power connector has ben known to get loose ...the 
cable end needs to grip the chassis end tightly.

First thing, I would look at the cable end connector, and squeeze it down so 
the female ends touch as a circle does.

Then plug it in and see how it goes.

Just a thought.

ALSO, if you have fuses in line, ten tec says to remove them.

Best regards,


Mark
