Can it be updated to a II?
I have looked on the various sites:
But am starting to get really confused:
ORION, ORION I, ORION II
OMNI A, OMNI, OMNI D series B, OMNI D series C, OMNI C, OMNI B.
Then there are the mod1 mod2 mod3, ect and on and on.
Then they say:
"so n' so with mod1 (same as) the such n' such"
Then there are factory modes as opposed to user mods:
(that's real scary in these days)
These are some of the terms I am running into and they all look like different
radios. Are they simply misusing the nomenclature?
It looks like there was an: OMNI, OMNI A, OMNI B, OMNI C, OMNI D, OMNI D series
B, OMNI D series C and ORION, ORION I, ORION II.
Has anyone made a table up somewhere who has been doing this a while showing
the actual models, modifications, ect along with a
feature comparison for each?
