I have the QRP modification done to my Omni V, but it seems to have a large RF spike when keyed,which was harmful to to the health of the PIN diodes in my Ten Tec transverters. Using a padding attenuator would help this quite a bit, but would diminish the sensitivity of the receiver correspondingly. To my knowledge, the Omni VI does not have transverter ports, while the Omni V does. But, the Ten Tec transverters are designed for RF switching and are intended to hook up to the main antenna coax connector on the IF rig, and will not work with normal transverter ports. I had excellent performance from my 6 and 2 meter Ten Tec transverters, and used them for many years.
