Was playing on 160 this weekend with my Omni VI opt 3. I got this rig used,
fully stuffed with Inrad filters about 2 yrs ago. I don't know how
many TenTec reflector readers were on 160 this weekend, but the band was
FULL of signal situations that tax a receiver. 60 over nine local
blowtorches immediately adjacent S0 DX.
I had both 250hz filters on, and the ability of this radio to handle
worst-case situations such as these is still remarkable to me, even after
thousands of QSOs with it.
An Omni VI outfitted with a nice compliment of filters has to be the best
bargain in ham radio these days. No, it doesn't have a fishfinder, but man
can it perform.
