Was playing on 160 this weekend with my Omni VI opt 3. I got this rig used, 
fully stuffed with Inrad filters about 2 yrs ago.  I don't know how 
many  TenTec reflector readers were on 160 this weekend, but the band was 
FULL of signal situations that tax a receiver. 60 over nine local 
blowtorches  immediately adjacent S0 DX.

I had both 250hz filters on, and the ability of this radio to handle 
worst-case situations such as these is still remarkable to me, even after 
thousands of QSOs with it.

An Omni VI outfitted with a nice compliment of filters has to be the best 
bargain in ham radio these days.  No, it doesn't have a fishfinder, but man 
can it perform.
