[TenTec] Omni V & VI MIXER Question

["Rick Williams" <rick.williams@telus.net>]

Far be it from me to deflect discussion from the Orion and nanohertz
accuracy but I have a question related to older technology.

It is my understanding that the Omni V and VI both use the same Synergy
Microwave CMP-A12 mixer.  The archives suggest that this is a 17 dBm device
but I have been unable to find detailed specs.

My question is - has anyone experimented with other mixers?  The
Mini-Circuits units with useable frequency response (e.g. RAY-3 a 23 dBm
device??) are expensive but look very interesting.

Anyway  - just a thought.  Thanks in advance!
