Joe,
As long as you're happy, that's really all that matters. Glad you were able
to close out the trouble ticket.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] OMNI VI Chirp Report
Well the matter of alleged chirp in my OMNI VI+ has finally reached a
happy ending. You may be interested in my assessment of the whole matter.
I hope I will not offend anyone, however I am not sure that there ever was
a chirp problem. I have installed the Logic Firmware Version 1.02. A local
station who had also listened to the version 1.03 said he could tell not
difference. More than one station listened to my cw with the 1.03 chip
installed and said the tone was perfect, and these are seasoned CW op whom
I respect. After installing the 1.02 chip I listened to my signal over the
internet as received in Salt Lake City. The tone was perfect in my opinion
and therefore I am keeping the 1.02 chip in the radio. Maybe one of these
days I will put the 1.03 back in and compare the two. But for now, being
very satisfied with my OMNI VI+, I am just going to enjoy using it.
I know that some of you, perhaps many of you, think there is a problem
with chirp in the OMNI VI+. I respect your opinion, but there are some
very respectable hams out there who do not agree. I contacted Ten Tec and
the person I talked to called it the OMNI VI chirp myth.
As I said, I respect the opinion of all, but more than that I appreciate
all of your comments. They were all helpful.
Joe, N4YG
