Re: [TenTec] TenTec CW filters or Inrad?

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX <RMcGraw@Blomand.Net>]

Regarding the Paragon vs. the Omni 6 let me be a bit more specific as I have 
both.  Both being a model 586 Paragon II and a model 564 Omni VI Plus.  If 
you want a general coverage receiver buy the Paragon II.  It will also work 
60 meters.  If you want a ham band only with built-in DSP, buy the Omni VI 
Plus.
I must admit the Omni VI Plus with filters in the N-1 and N-2 positions as 
well as all three filters in the 6.3 MHz IF is a better receiver than the 
Paragon II with the three filters in the 6.3 MHz IF.  I personally prefer 
the Paragon II receive audio which does not have DSP artifacts over the Omni 
VI Plus with its internal DSP.
