Re: [TenTec] Omni 6+ on it's way

["Mike Brown" <k9mi@sbcglobal.net>]

A 570 compared to an Omni 6+? A definite apples/oranges comparison. And yes, 
I've had both, so I think I'm qualified to judge. I just love these people 
who knock a radio they've never owned or operated. I you like phase noise, 
agc pumping when a signal gets close, the 570 is great. If you want a radio 
with a real receiver, with or without extra filters, I think the Omni 6 Plus 
is what you want. Don't forget to invite your 570 friend over so he can 
learn what a decent receiver sounds like.
Mike, K9MI
