Ken,
Somehow I feel cheated. Over the years I've come to realize that my Omni 6+
is
missing a lot of the features others have mentioned. A few for example:
(1) My Omni does not drift
(2) My Omni does not have key clicks
(3) My Omni does not chirp
(4) My Omni does not make relay noise
Surely I must have missed something, somewhere along the way. If I could
only find the upgrades and/or modifications that create the above problems
then maybe I could find a
reason to complain about my Omni 6.
Tony, W4FOA
