[TenTec] re: Reciever comparison chart on website

[Barry N1EU]

I believe the ARRL product review gave both the Elecraft K2 and the Ten-Tec 
Omni VI+ receivers very high marks.

Just curious whether anyone out there owns both and has compared the K2 and 
VI+ receiver performance on 160M?  Please drop me an email if so.

Tnx/73,
Barry  N1EU
