I started out with a fully populated filter selection of TT filters but was
not satisfied.
I then installed the SSB roofing filter and board. Works very well but I
"just had to know what I was missing" by not having the CW roofing filter.
Well I bought the Inrad CW filter without the roofing filter board and asked
Hal at Land Air Communications to put together a switching system controlled
from the front panel to choose which filter (cw or ssb) that the roofing
filter board sees.
So it is possible to have both in the Omni6
Now I'm very happy with this set-up. Maybe I should have just started over
with a new rig....but I just couldn't let my Omni go!

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Inrad Roofing Filters for Omni VI
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.
