I have been considering a Corsair II or Omni V or Omni VI as
possible upgrades to my TS-520 after 20+ yrs. None of these
TenTec models last long when offered on the used market. I
consider that to be quite an endorsement.
I am not trying to stir up a religious debate, but I am looking
for honest, rational discussion of the following question. If I
were to decide to purchase a NEW radio in the $2400 range, why
would I choose an Omni VI over the new Icom 756? On a features/$$$
basis the Icom seems to offer more (automatic antenna tuner,
6 meters, IF DSP...).
