| + | The omnis were first available as a Omni A and Omni D. Same rig with a different readout. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On your list these are:\\ | ||
| + | Omni A\\ | ||
| + | Omni B | ||
| + | |||
| + | The second iteration was the series B. This was available in both analog and Digital display. On your list these are:\\ | ||
| + | Omni A series B\\ | ||
| + | Omni D Series B | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tentec also offered an upgrade kit to turn the originals into the B series. You can tell it is an upgrade if one of the knobs on the | ||
| + | right side of the front panel has a sticker over the original panel markings. I think it is the bandwidth selector switch. The | ||
| + | Originals had a squelch control in that position. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The third and final mutation was available only in digital and is called the Omni D Series C | ||
| + | |||
| + | Those are the official names. The street names work like this. The first model is called either the A or D, depending on display. The second model is the B and is usually assumed to be digital. The third model is simply called the Omni C. | ||
