[TenTec] Blocking Dynamic Range

[Alexander, Mitch (LG-AT)]

Gentlemen:

There is currently a lively discussion going on the 'topband' reflector
regarding the best receivers for 160m.  A particular exerpt piqued my
interest:

>>It is important to note however, that the stock Omni VI+ is hampered by
limited dynamic range. I heard from one source (unfortunatly too late) that
replacing the 15khz roofing filter of the Omni with a 2.4khz xtal filter
will significantly improve its BDR. The stock Omni BDR tests about 15-20dB
less than its competition in the ARRL reviews.

I currently run an Omni V on HF.  Any comments to the above?
