[TenTec] INRAD Omni VI roofing filter kit - success

[Jason Buchanan <jsb@digistar.com>]

I'm happily enjoying the performance of the INRAD roofing filter kit for 
the Omni VI.  It has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance 
and ease of installation.

First off, for anyone concerned about installing one, it's very simple 
and can be done with a decent soldering pencil iron. 

I don't have a filter in my Omni VI NAR slot - it used to be my "Mute" 
button but now it becomes the enable/disable switch for the INRAD 
roofing filter.  I don't have the means to do scientific measurements 
but in operation it becomes obvious how much of a difference I notice.

On 40 meters where the broadcast stations regularly read 10 to 20 over 
S9 I can hear the AM carrier disappear when I enable the roofing filter 
and the 1.8KC SSB filter.  With the .50 or .25 KC narrow CW filters the 
QRM is essentially nonexistent.

On 40 and other bands near guys with giant signals I get the same 
results.  It's great!

The true test will be made during a contest but i'm very pleased - I 
love it!
