[TenTec] Omni VI vs Orion

[Kim Elmore]

Interesting discussion about the QSK. I'm not convinced it's quite as 
good as my venerable TS-930S, though I haven't done a side-by-side 
comparison. I also haven't played with any of the CW/QSK variables on 
the O II yet.

That said, the O II is simply a fantastic rig and I'm not about to go back.
