Hello Pete:
Glad to hear you are not on of the TenTec guys. I have used mt Omni VI+ fro
several years
and really like it. I bought a Jupiter and there are some things I like better
than what the Omni
has. The Jupiter is a general coverage and does not need any filters.
Your Omni VI is a great radio and I would not part with it! The Orion is a
great rig too and
much newer, so it still had the factory support. They will still repair your
Omni but parts are
hard to get. I was able to find an Omni that had a bad PLL board and have the
spares on hand
to keep mine going for a while.
73s and Happy New year!
Clayton N4EV

Thank you Clayton
You have a provided more information than Ten Tec support! I suspect most of
the original team that
was involved in the Omni VI are no longer there.
I don't think I'll bother trading up to a higher version Omni VI; I'm pretty
happy with my
Omni VI and the Paragon II. I think I'll hold off and eventually look for a
decently priced Orion II.
The Paragon II doesn't have the A/B VFO lock problem, and I can use it for
casual DXing.
Both units have all of the optional filters, and the Omni has both roofing
filter kits. I am a
recent Ten Tec convert, and the Omni VI and Paragon II have me sold on the
brand!
Maybe I'll get lucky and find an unused field upgrade kit that was never
installed.
