We all have different opinions about radios and what we like and dislike about
them. I owned an Omni 6 /opt 3 for a while and traded it for the Orion.
The Omni was an excellent cw rig, the best I ever had. If you are a cw
operator you could not go wrong with getting this rig. Also, the rig was very
stable and on frequency all day long and I had no RFI problems even running the
amp. SSB was adaquate but narrow with communications quality audio. ( I miss
the clock! ) It seemed to be expensive when compared with the same vintage JA
rigs (this was about a year and a half ago that I bought it) but I liked the
idea of dealing with the factory direct and Ten- Tec service is a legend in
these parts. I also like the idea of supporting U. S. manufacturers where
possible.
Those are my thoughts and experiences about my Omni, not much to go on, but I
hope it helps.
