I need to open up my OMNI 6 Plus and have a good look at a coupe of things:
1) The filter in the N-1 position is NOT at all good. It dramatically
INCREASES the
QRM in a contest whether using SSB or CW. I am really curious to know what is
in
there. Ther eis no N-2 filter. The only other filter I have is the normal 500
Hz one. It
seems to work OK.
2) Scotch S-meter never reads above S7
Thoughts?
