For that matter, the OMNI V was true innovation.
It was light-years ahead of Japanese random noise generators at the time.
The conclusion of a thorough transceiver test in a Multi-Multi environment
in 1990 by the Bavarian Contest Club two radios to be in a league of their
own, head and shoulders above ALL JA radios: my Omni V and a Drake 4C line
with Sherwood filters.
All others had problems either being disturbed on receive by transmitters
transmitting on other bands, or were the cause of broadband (all band)
disturbance to all other radios during transmit. The culprit was phase
noise, which Ten-Tec managed to keep very low with the OMNI V (later VI)
design.

Blasphemy! The true innovation was the Orion, 5 years earlier with
essentially the same architecture.
