[TenTec] Omni VI Plus/CW/Filter Question

[Fraser Robertson]

The CW offset is fixed, but is adjustabe with a trimmer capacitor inside.  
Regarding filters, I find adjusting the PBT (and if necessary IRT) gives 
more than adequate range of RX pitch.  The CW roofing filter is relatively 
wide, so does not impact on the optimum receive pitch, in my experience at 
least.
