[TenTec] Omni 6+ question

[WA3FIY]

I think the intercept point is independent of the signal spacing, at least up to 
the bandwidth of the filter  between the antenna and first active devices or 
mixer.   Dynamic range is definitely a function of signal spacing.   Emphasis on 
"I THINK" by the way!    :-)

Anyone know for sure?

In any case, the Omni VI is no slouch in this department!  That along with 
the very quiet synthesizer make it a desirable rig.
