The Omni D series B also had a kit to add 12 meters. Actually the kit added
30 meter transmit and 12 meter transmit and receive and was $25 when it came
out. The Omni C allowed individual selection of the cascaded audio filter
whereas the Omni D and A series B only allowed 2 positions of audio
filtering for each IF crystal filter. But essentially the rigs were almost
identical. Later when the Corsair's came out, the main addition over the
Omni's was pass band tuing.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni D-B vs Omni C
I own an Omni D-B. My understanding is it differs from an Omni C in that
the latter will function on 12 & 30M if the correct crystals are installed,
the Omni D-B receives 30M but required a modification kit to transmit on
30M. Neither can function properly on 17M, though evidently TT claimed
otherwise. The audio and if filters on the Omni D-B were cascaded, those
for the Omni C are selected individually.
Other than these differences, ( and a few years age ) the two are
identical, so many of the boards would interchange?
