Well, I have owned most of the TOL rigs on the market, and have tried most of
the rest in the rig shootouts we hold periodically. The shootouts are held on
a contest weekend, the rigs are set up side by side and adjusted as closely
as possible to each other, and the antennas are switched when a difficult to
copy signal is found.
Result; Ten Tec's Omni VI+ and the two "option 3's" I own will run rings
around most of the competition and pull signals out of the mud the other's
can't begin to copy. Period.
That's why I have been after Dollywood to build a dual recieve radio for
years. Because that's the only thing the VI+ lacks compared to the 781,
FT1000D, and the many other rigs that have come and gone.
