Brian,
If you go to the TT site, and to the download section, I recall seeing the
omni VI plus manual. However, I too have an omni VI-3 and the manual has
the addendum. As I remember you had to read closely to determine the button
changes. There are several changes in the menu you should be familiar with.
You'll need to go into the menu to change some of the defaults, such as
those for the LP button. You can set this wherever you like as a cuttoff.
The NR is the DSP noise reduction. Some of the others changed too and
should be outlined in the addendum.
As for the filters, I have no idea why someone would want 3 2.4 filters in
the rig in the 9mhz if. You should have a 2.4 under the panel (can't see it
unless you remove it) and two others N-1 and N-2. The under the other panel
is another 2.4 and then the 6.3 slots. If you get new filters, get Inrad.
This depends on your operating mode and style.
Email direct if you have further questions.
Good luck,
David
