[TenTec] Late Model 564 Omni VI Plus?

[Gary Tuck]

This is also the way I understand the serial number system--built January 97 or actually, scheduled to be built in January 97.  Although, I thought the first production run of VI+'s was in March so it is a very early VI+.  It is hard from looking at the pics to determine whether a subsequent owner added the TXCO.  Early  VI+'s came with an crystal oven instead.  There were also some small board changes to improve smooth receiver recovery in QSK.  I had a March 97 rig and it had not been performed yet.  I'm operating a VI+ now built in 2000 and many of the boards are SMT, has a TXCO and the QSK  mod performed in manufacturing.  

73,  Gary W7TEA
