Clark, appreciate hearing you results, do you engage it with
just N1 or N2 or with both? Currently just have a 500 in the N2 slot, 90 percent of my
operating is weak signal, usually low band 160/80 and dealing
with noise etc.   No local QRM out here, not other hams on the
island active.  So thats not my problem..
My only problem with the omni 6 upgrade 3 is all the birdies that
bug listening to weak signals,  perhaps it just this radio.  May
look for a omni 6 plus as hear they are better in the birdie dept.

Subject to what Terry said from his QTH - I find the 600 Hz (lower center freq.) roofing filter to be very helpful in heavy QRM and noise situations for my ears. It helps the audio DSP to engage better when the signal is just next to the noise for my ears, I really can hear the difference. I mostly deal with noise and digging down to try to hear a weak one, not big time QRM. However, when there is big time QRM right nearby, and I mean right nearby, I use the roofing filter and the other two filter options and can really clean the signal up. I am a believer.

I only see a couple of entries in the eHam reviews for the Inrad roofing filters for the Omni VI. I'm considering getting the CW version and would appreciate any comments on the performance enhancement that these filters provide.
