I agree....
That's why I bought a used Omni VI. Now, with my remote vfo knob (Ten-Tec
Model 301) placed at the right end of my keyboard and an A/B switch
installed and the 301 wired to both radios, I can use the vfo of either
radio without reaching above desktop level (kb is on a kb drawer-tray under
the desktop). For band changing, I use the keyboard. Once set up, I rarely
have to adjust audio or bpf or filters.
Works really cool.
