[TenTec] Omni VI vs. Mark V Field

[Rick and Karen Bunn]

Maybe I need to find an OMNI VI.  I used the Corsair II at Field Day and the
local noise from the power station next door gave us a SOLID S9+10 noise
level.  We only made 213 contacts on 40 meter phone.  My Paragon II AGC has
problems with PSK 31 as a strong signal in the PSK bandpass will really run
down the AGC. I have to run with the AGC out and the RF Gain set.

I've not done a side-by-side A/B comparison between the Omni VI + and the
FT-1000MP, but the thing that stands out most to me is how a strong close-in
signal can cause "de-sense" in the FT-1000MP that I never really noticed
with the Omni VI +.  Also, I've not been able to duplicate the function of
the Omni VI + NR button with the EDSP on the FT-1000MP.  The NR button
really made weak signals jump out of the noise.

Hi Marshall...now that I have both rigs set up side by side, I notice almost
a 500Hz discrepancy between them, with the Omni being lower.  
I'm also noticing the TT does a better job digging into weak noisy
sigs...even without using the DSP...same antenna, of course.

Have you noticed any of this?

Ten-Tec OMNI VI + for sale, with filters, matching Ten-Tec 961 Deluxe Power
Supply with speaker, and Ten-Tec 705 desk mic.  

The OMNI VI + is cosmetically unblemished - no dings, nicks, or scratches.
The transceiver was checked out by Ten-Tec about a year ago and the main
encoder was replaced.  Everything works. 

Included are the 1.8 kHz, 500 Hz, and 250 Hz filters, plus a 2.4 kHz filter
for N1 and a 500 Hz filter for N2. Also an extra 1.8 kHz filter that could
be used in N1 is included.  

The power supply matches the transceiver.  
 
Pictures available on request.  Ten-Tec sells just the OMNI VI + for
$1695.00 without the filters, power supply or desk mic.  I'm asking $1895.00
USD plus shipping for all.  I will sell only as a package.  If interested,
please inquire off reflector to marsh at ka5m.net
