After I did the MARS band update along with a couple mod kits that TenTec sent me,that is one hell of nice HF SSB transceiver.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.

Michael,
It's a Ten Tec Omni-C. Last year I replaced every cap in the entire radio then shipped it to Ten Tec for a tune up and realignment. It is not as good as the better Kenwoods but still is a nice radio.
I am using an inverted V (diy unit) for 40 meters and a "bazooka" (another diy unit) for 20 meters. I am mostly on 40 though and I've DX'ed all over Europe and into Russia several times and to several places in Asia. Of course I've made contacts all over the U.S.
Sometimes I have some RF bleed-over here in the computer room/radio shack because my radio is located almost directly under the antenna. :-( Sure wish we had a bigger plot of land. I'd like to have an antenna that would allow me to work 80 meters, but for now I'll have to settle on 40.

The C and the D look just alike and I have an Omni VI and I still have a Corsair 2.The only rice box I have is the Yaesu FT990 and I had a TS-850 Kenwood and none of those radios are as quiet on 40m and 80m as the Tentecs that are crystal mixed.It has to be a real quiet day to even hear those bands when there are static crashes.I used a 75m DC loop on my Omni D and that thing was as quiet as a church mouse.
Anyway,I worked SSB a total of three times last year..I only use my vintage stations running 40m AM and 75m AM phone and CW.I just rebuilt the BC610E which was a year long project and I should have her back up in a few weeks. Aren't you running a low pass filter on the transmitter? You can also get a high pass filter to put on your internet connection.
