Well don't give up Gary!

Even though the Omni 6 Plus doesn't have a PTO or dual receivers, if 
you get the chance, you should try one of those radios. They have 
very impressive receivers, if memory serves me, they rank the 9th or 
10th best in the Sherwood receiver test data. Now, add the Inrad 
roofing filter, CW or SSB and run those test again, it should be 
really impressive. If you operate CW, the legendary full QSK is 
there! And yes, you can maintain them yourself, however they 
certainly seem to be extrmely reliable. My original Omin 6, which I 
ran for 11 years, had thousands of hours of chasing low band DX, 
running QRQ, and entering about every contest I could find the time 
to join. Eleven years with NO failure...just can't beat that.

My 'new' acquisition is an Omni C, in which I'm going to attempt to 
install another Inrad roofing filter...should be interesting.
