A bit of hyperbole, that.

The Ten Tec Omni series, from the A to the VI+, are/were not upconverting - 
their first IF is/was 9 MHz. Same for the original Argosy and the Corsair I and 
II. The Delta used a 6.3 MHz first IF. In fact, upconversion to VHF is rarely 
used in TT rigs (the Paragon is one exception).
