You are right, of course. If you want to work 17 meters, you'll need a
different rig. As it is, there are many bands on the Omni-C that I don't
use so I don't feel cheated.

Mike, repeat after me:
17 meters
17 meters
17 meters
I made a lot of contacts on the Omni C/external VFO/original Hercules
combo before realizing 17 meters was an issue. Never got a warning
notice and don't want to risk one. The Omni V and Jupiter have smaller
footprints, too, because of the dual VFOs.

In your position, I suggest the following self-test:
1. What do I need done that my Omni-C won't do?
