Steve, I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses to the questions, but I
gathered a few incomplete tidbits on the options at
http://n1eu.tripod.com/Mods/omni6plus.htm

IMHO (and assuming you're mainly a cw op), the only mod that's a
definite would be the Inrad roofing filter.  I'd hold off for a while
on the others.  FWIW, I'm not a big post-i.f. dsp fan.  Enjoy the
radio!

Folks,

I have the opportunity to buy a used Omni VI here in the UK. The advert says "fully 
loaded with filters" but it has no upgrade Mods.

I'm a long-term Corsair II owner and don't know the Omni series very well. Can 
anyone tell me:

1) What the various upgrades to the Omni VI were, and what did they achieve ?
2) Were they "factory installed", or can the competent owner do them ?
3) In your opinion were they worthwhile ?
4) Are any of them still available?
5) I believe there were some InRad mods available - are these worthwhile?

Happy Thanksgiving to all you folk over there !
