One way to tell. If the model/SN label says 564 it is an Omni VI Plus. If
it says 563 it is an Omni VI. Located below the Tentec logo the front panel
clearly says Omni VI Plus if it is a Plus. The upgrades options #1, #2 and
#3 are not applicable to the Omni VI Plus, model 564.

We've had many a discussion where folks have sold or tried to sell a 563
with opt 3 upgrade as a Plus. It has many of the same features as a true
Plus but the market places a higher dollar value on the Omni VI Plus as
compared to the Omni VI. I've also known of some unhappy buyers thinking
they were buying a Omni VI Plus when indeed they ended up with a Omni VI opt
3 but paid the higher price. Let the buyer beware.

How do you update an Omni VI Plus to Option 3? Did you mean an Omni VI
updated to Option 3.

I have been trying to decide what radio to buy. I have a Scout and want
to
upgrade to an Omni. I have read a post that talked about subtle
changes
TT
made to the OMNI series over the production years. The poster said "An
early
563 and a late 564 are very different radios in many respects aside
from
the
advertised differences.." Not knowing what these changes were or what
they
corrected, would it be better to look for a late model VI+ or go for a
VI
Option III?
Thanks for your input. Also, if you have one of these little beasties
for
sale, send me an email with the particulars.
