Seems that this would need some hardware mods/additions... not just firmware
mods.
I know that the K2 will have to have an additional board added that allows
the VFO to tune that band. Isn't the method of tuning similar in both rigs?
Perhaps this Elecraft board could be adapted, with a firmware mod, to work
in the Omni VI?
I like my Omni VI, and since my K2/100 will work on 60m don't see a reason
to get rid of it just for that reason... but it sure would be nice if it too
could work on 60m.
Of course, the conspiracy theorist in me sez that Ten-Tec was behind the
push for 60m... so everyone who loves their Omni VIs would have to upgrade
to the Orion!
