I have a 563 rev 3 which I was told was same as a 564
It isn't. I have manuals for both and in some instances my radio doesn't agree with either one!
Now that folks is FUN.
I don't think there is a nickles worth of performance difference, just makes it interesting to troubleshoot and repair if and when needed. Fortunately seldom, but there have been instances
Love the radio---whatever it is

Sorry sir but an Omni VI+ and an Omni VI Rev 3 are the same thing. I have one of each and there are no differences between them internally. Some of the later Omni VI+ had surface mount components as opposed to older style leaded components but I'm sure the circuit design is the same but with more modern manufacturing techniques and a reduction in the cost of components.

Please not you doNOT have an Omni VI+, you have an Amni VI rev3 which is equivalent to
a VI+ but is still a VI.  The VI+ is a 564 and yours is a 563.

Putting together a Ten Tec station. Already have a Omni VI+ (option 3) a
422b amplifier and my old Dentron SuperTuner.
Was looking for a 238 tuner to replace the Dentron, but I just stumbled
across a possible 253 auto tuner. I checked both manuals, and I do not see
a specific
wiring recommendation for this combination.

Anyone see any issues with the combination of the Omni VI+ ---> 422b --->
253? Any caveats or things to be aware of? Need to move rather fast on
this, before it disappears.
