I have 2 Omni VI+. One is all TenTec filters, the other is all InRad. Both have
the InRad 600 Hz Roofing Filter Mod operated by the N2 button.
The all-TenTec filter unit has the 2017 500Hz filter in N2 and the InRad
equipped unit has the 760 250 Hz InRad filter in N2. I use the InRad equipped
unit all the time. It is definitely superior to the TenTec for my ears and my
personal likes (your mileage may vary). If you want 500 Hz bandwidth, the
TenTec 2017 is great. In either case, the InRad 600 Hz roofing filter mod is
worth the money a couple of times over. 500 or 250 Hz bandwidth is a personal
choice and you'll get a lot of passionate claims that each is the best choice.
It's up to your ears.

Subject: [TenTec] 564 9 mHz Filters
I just purchased an Omni VI Plus (564) and I am looking to fill my "N-2"
filter slot. I have a 1.8 mHz TT filter in N-1 and the full complement in
the 6.3 slots. I am 90% cw and have operated a Omni VI (563) for 17 years.
I want a 500 Hz filter in this slot. In your opinion should I purchase the
TT 217 or an "Inrad" filter? Roofing filter is a term I have yet to learn.
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Any help for the OM? Thanks Bob K4BG
