[TenTec]omni-d (genealogy)

[Carl Moreschi]

Bill,

This was done about a year ago or so on this reflector.  But I will try from
memory to give the genealogy.

After the Omni C, the main transceiver evolution continued as follows:

Corsair
Corsair II
Paragon
Omni V
Omni VI
Paragon II
Pegasus
Jupiter
Orion

There were of course many side branches for all the other transceivers.
