When I had my Omni A years ago, 160 was always less sensitive than other
bands. I would say what you are hearing is normal. 160 has lots of
band noise so being a little less sensitive on that band hurts nothing.

Finally added a 135' wire to my Hustler 6BTV so as to see if I could get onto
160m. Band seems more quiet than 80m--but that could be a number of factors, I
guess. One thing I've noticed though is that the RX preselector (aka resonate
control) uses the same setting as it does on 80m. Is this normal?
I also noticed that I have to use "lots" of RF gain, more than on 80m--but that
could be antenna related--but I noticed one eham review that said the Omni C had low
sensitivity on 160m. Is that normal? I don't think I mind, with my setup I don't need
extra gain.
