Hi Jim,

I cannot tell you anything about the Omni V. I do have some information on the OmniVI.

Here is what I understand are the various versions of Omni VI:

563 Omni VI = The basic Omni VI
563 Omni VI option 1 = The Omni VI with DSP added in the field using an upgrade kit sold by Ten-Tec. The few buttons that need relabeling get stick on labels.
563 Omni VI option 2 = The Omni VI with DSP noise reduction added by the factory. The buttons get replaced with new buttons with the correct labels.
563 Omni VI option 3 = The Omni VI with both DSP and the 9 MHz IF/Mixer board which has space for two optional narrow 1st IF filters. This upgrade was only done at the factory.
564 Omni VI + = The Omni VI with all of the features, built that way by the factory, not upgraded. This rig uses a lot more SMT parts.


I believe that the Omni VI+ and the Omni VI option 3 are functionally identical. The 9 MHz IF/Mixer boards have SMT parts in both of these radios, but the option 3 rig has the SMT parts only on that board. The Omni VI + has SMT parts on many boards.

The above information may not be exactly correct. If someone else can correct it, please do so, because I would also like to know.

Could you explain what all the different models of the OMNI V and VI are. I get confused by all the distinctions such as plus,3, etc.
