The Omni D series B also had a kit to add 12 meters.  Actually the kit added 
30 meter transmit and 12 meter transmit and receive and was $25 when it came 
out.   The Omni C allowed individual selection of the cascaded audio filter 
whereas the Omni D and A series B only allowed 2 positions of audio 
filtering for each IF crystal filter.  But essentially the rigs were almost 
identical.  Later when the Corsair's came out, the main addition over the 
Omni's was pass band tuing.
