[TenTec] OMNI VI ssb performance ????

Michael;

I bought my OMNI VI new in the summer of 1992 and have ALWAYS received excellent
SSB signal reports using it.  I set the mike gain and processor level during my 
first QSO using it and have not had to alter either of them since.  I use a 20+ 
year old D-104 microphone.  On CW it does work as well as you have heard from 
others.  I mostly use a straight key on CW (I work a lot of Novices and 
beginners).

In the sixties and early seventies my station was "All American": homebrew, 
kits, and factory builts.  In the mid seventies through the eighties it was 
mostly YEACOMWOOD.  Now it is all Ten Tec, with some Heath and MFJ accessories. 
I sure don't mis the "marginal quality", "marginal performance", and 
"questionable bells and whistles" on the Yeacomwoods!

Good luck.

Reid, K7YX

 Dear Amateurs

   I am thinking of buying an OMNI VI plus after owning 4 "oriental YAECOMWOOD" 
   and after been a happy owner of a TITAN amp. and after reading only
   good reports from other TT owners but the only thing that most
of those happy
   owners are reporting is the CW performance ,good selectivity/filtering 
   of the OMNI VI.

     I will be using  it only on SSB and I would like to hear from OMNI VI
 users about the transmit and receive audio  pro and cons on SSB Mode.

 Does the new OMNI VI PLUS has any improved audio processor compared to the 
 previous one??

 I donot want to spend money for things that I will never use like
    1.a dual receiver in the same unit.
    2.power(switching) supply since every ham-shack has  a 12 v P.S. 
    3.antenna tuner (I always use an external tuner)
    4.Bells and buttons that only once or twice I will press in my whole life.

=============================================================================
 I would rather spend all this money on good crystal filters.
=============================================================================

  My warmest thanks to all of my fellow hams who will take time to 
  respond and help me out with my decisions.

  Thank you all
