Thanks for the tip Byron.
The problem I find with AMD (deteriorating central vision) is there is only so far one can gowith magnification and my preference is more brilliance/contrast is with some enlargement which the Omni 6 does not have..
Best wishes

Hi everyone..
With failing vision I no longer can read the dial on my trusted Omni VI relying 
more and more on keypad entry by touch.
My thoughts are to move
to Orion/Jupiter style screen readout and would be interested in anyone's views 
on the merits/demerits of the two rigs before I consider moving on from TT and 
go YIK or SDR..
My main interest is cw contesting and until now the Omni VI has fitted the bill 
perfectly plus it is a rig still within the home repair sphere of our hobby .
Mni tks in advance.
