Thanks your reply Bob..
I did say purely under operational circumstances and by that I mean simply comparing the two receivers with the same receive signal.. I'll take your word for the technical spec figures and also that there's a possibility my O-6 is performing under par.
But where?

And how did you determine the difference in receiver sensitivity?

The specified sensitivity for the FT-102 is 0.25 uV preamp on, 1.0 uV preamp off.  The Omni VI sensitivity is 0.16 uV.   I would say if you find the FT-102 better than the Omni VI then there is something wrong with the Omni VI.   Also the noise floor for the FT-102 is stated as -103 dBm and for the Omni VI as -133 dBm. The Omni VI is considerably quieter than the FT-102.

73

Have just demothballed my FT102 and speaking purely operational am astonished at the superiority of the FT102 over the O-6 on receiver sensitivity.
Grateful for any comments.
