The 850 is a superb SSB radio. Ab-fab audio quality on TX & RX. It's
QSK is not as good as a ten tec.
Personally, having owned an OMNI V, I'd say I like the 850 better. But
using two OMNI VI+s in the shack, I much prefer those to the 850. Even
on SSB (which I am not a fan of).
The IRC filters are a vy worthwhile addition to the 850.
Most of the features you list as liking are not or have never been used
by me--the internal keyer, voice keyer, memories, etc. So really cannot
compare them that way.
I would read N6TR's write up on the 850. Vy worthwhile info....
GL &
vy 73 de Don K4ZA (save a few more $ & get the OMNI VI...you won't
regret it...)
