Hi Thomas,
I have the Omni 6 Opt 1 with both the 500Hz and 250Hz filters plus the roofer
for CW and SSB. I bought the lower pitch filter and it works just fine.
Actually, you can purchase the SSB roofing filter board and with a few mods you
can put the CW roofer external to the SSB roofer board and switch between the
SSB and CW roofing filter. Makes a very noticeable difference on both modes.
The 500Hz tone does it fine for me. You do need to adjust the IF shift a little
to get it just where you may want it but that is pretty much standard procedure
anyway.
Like youself, I have given some consideration to buying a newer radio with more
bells and whistles and have decided to keep the 6 as it is like using my
favorite gun. It just really hears well. and when you know your radio that is
half of the battle... so to speak. Have thought long and hard on the Omni 7 and
will have to shed off another radio around here to get one.
Best 73 and have fun de Dave KM4D
