[TenTec] Omni VI v. Orion

[Ken Brown]

Maybe he is thinking of a Paragon. Paragons cannot be used for DXing 
since their frequency readout uses only one color. I have worked plenty 
of DX with my Omni VI, which uses two different colors of seven segment 
LED numerals in the readout. It does not have a spectrum scope though. 
That may be a requirement for a "serious DXer" these days, although 
plenty of DX was worked in the past without them.
