[TenTec] Corsair II vs Omni VI+

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

If you'll get an Omni-C or a Triton 544, you may like listening to either of 
them better than the Corsair II or the Omni IV+.

I have been playing the last couple of days (nights) on 80&160m listening on 
both the Corsair II and my Omni VI+. I can switch back and forth between 
either radio using the same ant, so I can compare the same signal on either 
radio using the same ant.
I have found that anything that I hear on the Omni VI+ I can hear on the 
Corsair II as well or better, regardless of using NR and ,or any combinatin 
of filters in the Omni.

This is on a fairly empty band. Not in a contest situation where like in the 
ARRL 160 people would park 200hz away from you and start calling CQ. I think 
the Omni VI+ has it over the Corsair II for close in interference.

I find that the receiever in the CorsairII is quieter that the Omni VI+ on 
the same ant. Easier to Listen to for long periods of time.

My question is, for those that have tried this, do you find the same thing 
that I am? Is there something wrong with the Omni VI+ that it does not hear 
better than the Corsair II? Am I missing something?
Since I like both radios I am just curious and not wanting to get rid of 
either one.
