The roofing filter mod/addition from INRAD does not require any soldering
except for power. The rest of the connections are all provided for with mini
coax and plugs on the filter accessory board. A very straightforward and
easy installation. SMD has nothing to do with the installation, so not to
worry, Gary. T's a very well thought out and designed addition that is worth
every penny. Installation takes a maximum of a half hour.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI+ question
I understand that as the VI+ evolved, some boards were constructed
with SMD technology. Does anyone know if the RF board (underside of
rig near finals unit) was built with SMDs in later rigs? If I do
acquire a late model Plus, I would want to install the InRad roofing
filter but am not anxious if it means soldering onto a SMD board. My
past experiences do not inspire much confidence. : )
tnx, Gary W7TEA
