All Omni-VI and Omni-VI Plus transceivers do not have a "chirp" inherent in
the CW keying note.  You can be sure the ARRL would never let us rest again
if they believed there was a problem with their new Omni-VI Plus.  We 
appreciate their confidence in Ten-Tec by choosing the Omni-VI Plus over
every other transceiver made today.  

Sincerely,
