I am very close to buying an Omni VI Opt 1 from Ten-Tec. They also have an Omni 
VI and an Omni VI factory-upgraded to a plus. I'm leaning toward the Opt 1 
based on the DSP, since I have a pretty bad noise problem at my QTH. Other than 
the extra filter slot,  is there any reason to go for the full upgrade. I'm 
primarily a cw op and do a few contests. I just sold my Jupiter and wanted a 
rig with a few crystal filter options, not just DSP. (Never really got into the 
computer control.) I can't afford even a used Orion and don't see anything from 
Japan that's in the price range with the Omni's receiver specs. Any comments 
appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil N3ZP
