Wow ! I guess my experience with the post 1990 Ten Tec stuff has been with
the Paragon and a Omni VI. It is hard to believe that the Omni V did not
have a simple RIT. I suppose that once you get used to it, you would find it
acceptable. I agree with Scott.... I think Ten Tec missed it on that one !
