[TenTec] Inrad Roofing Filters for Omni VI

[Fraser Robertson]

I wired our club's Omni6+ so that the CW roofing filter is activated by the 
Processor button, (but only when CW mode is selected).  Therefore all filter 
selctions remain possible.

I'll dig out the info and email it if anyone is interested.
