A few questions about the Omni-VI (hopefully my next HF rig...):
Has TT considered including a crystal deck for optional band
coverage (ala Collins 75S-3C/32S-3A or my Drake R4C/T4XC)?
Would one also have to install custom bandpass filters, such as what
apparently is inside a Scout band module? The Collins/Drake rigs
of old had adjustable preselectors so this wasn't a big issue.
Otherwise, what happens to my Omni-VI when 40 meters is someday
reallocated to, for example, 6.9-7.2. Or if we get a new band?

Or continue to lust after that cool looking WJ HF-1000...
Also, speaking of the Scout, how easy is it to modify a band
module for coverage outside the ham bands for SWLing or using
a transverter? Has anyone done this?
