Regarding the Paragon vs. the Omni 6 let me be a bit more specific as I have
both. Both being a model 586 Paragon II and a model 564 Omni VI Plus. If
you want a general coverage receiver buy the Paragon II. It will also work
60 meters. If you want a ham band only with built-in DSP, buy the Omni VI
Plus.
I must admit the Omni VI Plus with filters in the N-1 and N-2 positions as
well as all three filters in the 6.3 MHz IF is a better receiver than the
Paragon II with the three filters in the 6.3 MHz IF. I personally prefer
the Paragon II receive audio which does not have DSP artifacts over the Omni
VI Plus with its internal DSP.
