[TenTec] confusion about 563 vs 564

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Jim:

Yes I do.  A 653 with upgrade is a ONMI VI with opt 3 and a 654 is  a OMNI
VI+.  I think in dealing and advertising, these points should be clearly
stated.

Same basically is true with the Paragon series.  There is the Paragon and
the Paragon II.  No such critter as a Paragon I.
