I did a little bit of A/B/C testing on 160M with my Omni VII, Peg's Eagle,
and my Corsair II. I am not happy with the results.
I was listening to Bernie W3UR down in J7 on a beverage. I just hooked the
same coax to each rig, so it was a few seconds between each one. He was not
always solid copy on the Omni VII, but was Q5 on the Corsair II.
The winner was the reverse order that I have listed above. The Corsair was
maybe 3DB better than the Omni VII, but that can make the difference between
hearing someone and not hearing them.The Eagle was in between.
Has anyone else done this? The Omni VII is a very good radio, but just not
the best low band one.
