When I had my Omni A years ago, 160 was always less sensitive than other
bands. I would say what you are hearing is normal. 160 has lots of
band noise so being a little less sensitive on that band hurts nothing.

One thing I've noticed though is that the RX preselector (aka resonate control) uses the same setting as it does on 80m. Is this normal?
