Paul,
The Omni A and Omni D are only different with regards to the display.
The Omni A is an analog display, the Omni D is a digital display.
The original Omni was not a series B. You could call it a series A but since
there was no series B yet it was never called this. It had no provision for
additional IF crystal
filters. All the switchable filters were just audio filters. It also had
a squelch control.
Then the series B came out. It added a board that allowed you to add 2
additional
crystal filters. The switch for these filters replaced the squelch control.
I belive an
optional noise blanker was also added at this time. These radios had 10 mhz
receive
and there was an option to add 10 mhz transmit and 24 mhz transceive.
Finally, the Omni C came out. It was logically a seris C but it was never
called
this. It added the 18 mhz band to fill out all nine bands. It also allowed
better
control over the audio and crystal filters by having a separate switch for
these.
It also added and XIT control in addition to an RIT control.
The Omni C only came in digital so one oculd callit it an Omni D series C
although
it was never actually called this.
