OMNI VI+ rules for what I do - plain and simple.
I have installed 2.8 Khz SSB filters and performed N1EU's audio tap. 
This is fed into my computer soundcard and the VI+ sounds as good if not better 
than the SDR...

-- So yes now you raise the TCXO 100 hz for 160m and you end up 50hz high on 
15m, splitting hairs at this point. Only thing I split hairs over was the time 
display which I found a new crystal for but not the right impedance so now 
working but loses time so just turned it off.

 To Don and all:
The Omni VI + is low on the following bands by the following amounts:
160 meters................  99 hz low
 80 meters                   100 hz low
20 meters                      60 hz low
17 meters                      60 hz low
15 meters                      50 hz. low
10 meters                      60  hz low
Nothing has ever been adjusted in 25 years since purchased  from Ten Tec. It 
has been back to Ten Tec for service periodically  for updates and a couple of 
minor issues. This is the best transceiver I have ever owned and the easiest to 
use.  A fantastic radio !!

Be sure to check that the difference is seen on all bands, band crystals also 
change sometimes...

My 25 year old Omni VI+  has gradually crept up 100 hz on the readout. I have a 
new TCXO that I recently purchased but I would like to make an adjustment to 
bring the BEAUTY UP 100hz so it will read 3.925 instead of 3.924.9 when it is 
in fact receiving on 3.925.
 Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
