Curt, NU7R, points out how good OMNIs are to use on crowded bands. I agree.
However, some hams have pointed out over the years on this reflector that
they have had trouble with OMNI VI's BDR when very nearby contest stations
are running a kilowatt or more through major antennas. In that case,
apparently, the Yaesu FT-1000MPs survive better--perhaps why they are the
standard rig in multi-multi environments. I don't have any such problems,
so this is not a concern.
Obviously, the ORION front ends are bullet proof.
73,
John, W3ULS
