I haven't checked this out but someone told me the real Omni VI+ had circuit boards with surface mount technology, smt, components while the other did
not. Perhaps someone can verify this.

Yes, isn't the CW transmit offset set differently (different crystals in the BFO) in the "real" 6+ ? I also understand that the product detector circuit in the 6 was improved at some point (second order problems in the passband) later in the 6 series, maybe in the 6+ . I have a mod kit from the UK that improves the product detector and alleviates the problem in the stock 6. That's the information I have, not a big deal, really, but a difference.
