I'm happily enjoying the performance of the INRAD roofing filter kit for
the Omni VI.  It has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance
and ease of installation.

First off, for anyone concerned about installing one, it's very simple
and can be done with a decent soldering pencil iron.

I don't have a filter in my Omni VI NAR slot - it used to be my "Mute"
button but now it becomes the enable/disable switch for the INRAD
roofing filter.  I don't have the means to do scientific measurements
but in operation it becomes obvious how much of a difference I notice.

On 40 meters where the broadcast stations regularly read 10 to 20 over
S9 I can hear the AM carrier disappear when I enable the roofing filter
and the 1.8KC SSB filter.  With the .50 or .25 KC narrow CW filters the
QRM is essentially nonexistent.

On 40 and other bands near guys with giant signals I get the same
results.  It's great!

The true test will be made during a contest but i'm very pleased - I
love it!
