Paul, K5AF asked :

I only see a couple of entries in the eHam reviews for the Inrad roofing  
filters for the Omni VI.  I'm considering getting the CW version and would  
appreciate any comments on the performance enhancement that these filters  
provide.

I have the CW version in my OMNI VI.  It works fine, but
I have not noticed a huge difference at my isolated QTH.
Only a couple of times in A/B testing has it really been
noticable. My operating is 100% contest related, mostly
S&P, with competition-sized antennas and respectable
scores for low power.  But, of course, you don't know 
what you can't hear if you can't hear it!  
 
Remember, the stock OMNI VI is better than most of the Inrad modified radios, 
such as the FT1000MP, so there isn't as
much easy improvement to be had.
