- Working from memory...The Omni D came out around 1979-80. The 580 a few years later. The Omni had a 9mhz IF chain while the Delta 580 had 6.3mhz. I believe the change in frequency cleared up some pro

- I believe the Delta 580 first appeared in late 1980. It was the first entirely new Ten-Tec rig to include the WARC bands. The Omni D, Series C, did come out somewhere around 1979. It was sort of a re

- Both rigs work well. N4LQ is correct about the different IF frequencies. The Delta works 17 meters while the late Omni rigs (Omni-c) encounter trouble on transmit because the 18 MHz band is twice the

- The 580 Delta I fixed up for my nephew was a dark grey (maybe with a touch of green in it). I found an almost exact match in paint for the cabinet: Rustoleum Anodized Bronze, #7754. Elephant snot gre

- I got one of the first ones out...when they came with 30 meter crystals and you had to send them back for upgrading to the WARC bands. It's very dark, I would call it black. Nice simple to use rig an

- I think the problem is that the Delta 580 had a little of all those colors in it -- brown, gray, green, etc. You could view it as almost any of those colors. And then, maybe some hams are a little co
